I value gentle parenting principles and draw inspiration from Montessori and RIE philosophies. In addition to childcare, I’m very comfortable assisting with household management tasks, anticipating parents’ needs, maintaining routines, and helping keep the home running smoothly. I also absolutely love pets and am very comfortable around animals. I have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and am comfortable traveling as needed.
