I love children and children love me. I’m very lucky and blessed, children are enchanted with me and we naturally delight in each others company. I am a highly trained caregiver in providing for your child’s mental, emotional and physical needs. I bring over 25 years of practical experience with children, from infancy through teenage-hood. I’ve had unique opportunities of working with children ranging in needs from being deemed extremely gifted to being a patient in a lock-down psychiatric ward. It’s important to me that children are given the opportunity to and learn to cultivate their ability to: thrive, be resilient, express themselves fully, develop high levels of self-efficacy & self-worth, love and be loved. I love to play! I’m crafty, artsy, musical, adventurous, active, happy and have great boundaries! Children naturally love me, this makes my job very easy. 😍 (I’ve also worked as a private chef, caterer, and personal assistant.) Some of my experiences with children include: -2 summers of teaching K-5 Science and Art for summer school, 4 yrs of substitute teaching, 2.5 years teaching pre-school for 3'-4's, 2yrs as aTiger Cub 'mom', 2 years I ran a Children's Crisis Shelter, 4 yrs I worked in a lock-down Psychiatric Children's Facility. I was a licensed Respite Care Provider and Foster Parent. I contracted with Child Protective Services for 5 years. I created a program working with Autistic boys (1 yr), for 4.5 years I was a Family Builder Specialist and Program Manager, for 2 yrs I was a Child Developmental and Behavioralist Specialist. I have been a temporary, part time, and full time nanny and sitter for over 20years. Over Covid lockdown I ran a private school and course for grades k&1. I volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Adventure Scouts, food kitchens, Women’s DV shelters... Using my expertise in emotions, I teach classes for parents (and also for children) on empowerment, emotional development and intelligence, transformation, and self efficacy/esteem. ** Please note that I have cancellation policy - if you cancel a booking with in a week of, I charge a $50 cancellation fee or 50% of the booking, whichever is higher.

Hello, I am Julia. I am a teacher with over 7 years of experience caring for and providing education to children. 2 years ago I established myself as an independent teacher after having worked as an Early Childhood educator in a Waldorf school for 5 years. As an independent teacher I specialize in teaching sewing and clothing design. I also enjoy providing care for young children and pets. I am a very attentive and gentle woman with lots of experience as a teacher and I possess a natural care giving ability. I have mainly taught children ages 2-11, along with recently providing care for a young man of 22 years who had a disability. I have been teaching clothing design & sewing over the past 9 years. I really value fostering the creativity of children and enjoy assisting them in bringing their ideas to life. I am Waldorf trained and I believe in the importance of nurturing the holistic well being of young children. I have been making clothing since I was 7 years old and I am trained in clothing construction and clothing design, having operated my own clothing line for 4 years before my teaching career started. I also love to cook, paint, decorate homes and participate in many creative activities. One of my main love languages is cooking for others. I have lots of experience with animals. I fostered rescue cats for 4 years and I also do pet setting. I know how to administer medicines and offer a calm environment. I also have recently become a certified yoga teacher and I have also started to teach yoga classes. I am also offering that within my care services.
