Hello! I am a warm, nurturing, mindful mother of two who stayed home with my children during their upbringing.

Elise $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi Families! My name is Elise and I'm excited to meet some of you and see if our needs and values align. I have so. much. experience. working with children and families. I've been a preschool teacher for most of my career but I also have many years of experience working in elementary classrooms. I have a BA in Child and Adolescent Development and an MS in Education. My Master's thesis was about the power of play in early childhood development so I am always finding ways to make even the most mundane moments full of play and learning. I'm a storyteller by nature and love bringing that to children. They love it too! I'm so comfortable around kids and am extremely confident in my abilities, and yet, I am consistently humbled by what they continue to teach me after all these years. Let's get to know each other and see if I would be a good fit for your family!
