I worked with teens and adults with hearing and sight disabilities at Perkins School for the Blind, in Boston for 8 years before moving to Portland 9 years ago. I have worked at a small Charter School for 8 years where I created and directed an aftercare arts program and then worked as an educational assistant for the school, mostly in the K-1 classrooms. I have worked at a Montessori school with toddlers and infants. I have been nannying for four years and have experience with children from 6 months old to 7 years old! I am a fun, silly and creative person who loves being outside, gardening, animals, cooking and painting. I am passionate about education and creating a safe and loving space for children and adults to learn and grow.

I have been a nanny and youth educator for over 10 years. Working with children of a variety of ages — 3 months to 15 years. My specialty is creativity and nature connection. I bring a sense of adventure and place and compassionate care for social emotional skills to my work. I take my job seriously, and because of my life as an educator I like to make any mundane day an event with an opportunity for learning and bonding. Professionally I teach drama, creativity, outdoor education for youth, and I guide a therapeutic embodiment practice for adults. I also work in the creative field as a performing artist and on all sides of event production. Because of this I marked weekend evenings as not generally available, however I am flexible at this time and will adjust for the right family! Finally, I am good at organizing and cleaning up a space. I am currently on the market for a car and could then run errands, etc.

Happy to babysit, tutor, provide educational experiences—whatever you need!

I developed strong childcare skills from a young age. When I was eight, my aunt had her first child, and because I lived with her, I helped care for them. Over the following years, she had two more children, giving me valuable hands-on experience with children of different ages. My family quickly came to trust me as their go-to babysitter because of how naturally I connect with kids. Later on, I babysat my two younger siblings. I’m patient, gentle, caring, respectful, easygoing, and positive, and I adapt my caregiving style to each child’s unique needs while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I can prepare basic meals, help with household chores, and learn new routines or recipes if needed. I value open communication and kindly ask families to share any important expectations or instructions so I can provide the best care possible.
