  About Me
 
Dependable, flexible, creative, imaginative, supportive, patient, motivational, devoted, compassionate and passionate. These are words others have used to describe me as both a caregiver and person. I mostly a mother of two amazing grown sons who wants to share some of the successful child rearing and development skills and methods I found to be effective and appreciated. I am an experienced, creative nanny and mentor seeking a wonderful family who appreciates a "whole child" method of teaching and nurturing. My approach promotes curiosity, exploration, confidence, self-discipline, self-respect and respect for others. Infants through toddlers learn to discover their environment through sensory stimulation and much
interaction. All children I care for are treated as special individuals. As a dance and theatre/acting teacher I love to utilize that dynamic to encourage children to be their intellectual, artistic and personal best, all the while reinforcing that "They Are Enough ". Travel or overnight care is fine. If you desire someone who empowers and truly values children and the importance of the family unit (any type family), I hope to hear from you.
