Greetings,

I am a trained, certified Waldorf Early Childhood Educator. Over the past 25 years, I have worked as both a teacher (preschool through high school, including working with children with Learning Differences) and Nanny/Family Assistant, as well as having raised my own child - now an adult.

I especially enjoy working for private families and am currently available to commit to a family who may be seeking a dedicated caregiver.

While previously California-based, I am now seeking to relocate to any number of states such as NC, FL, SC, VA, TN, TX, AZ, or NM but am very open to location and would love to explore compatibility with a freedom-oriented family with an organic lifestyle.

I specialize in raising children with mindfulness around screen-time usage and understand the challenges inherent in this lifestyle choice though I am amenable to your family's preferences. Using developmentally age-appropriate activities, I'm experienced in creating quality, holistic environments to occupy children's time, facilitate fun and nurture growth. Supporting the family in household chores and engaging children in these activities is also part of my repertoire.

It would be marvelous to connect with a family in need of regular childcare who may have the option of private accommodation on their property or who may have local contacts with a cottage or simple in-law unit available to rent.

I hold 19 ECE units from the state of CA, am Trust Line verified and have excellent references to provide.

Please reach out if you would like to explore. I am available immediately and look forward to connecting with a family with shared values during these precarious times. The well-being of children has always been my passion and I am uniquely qualified to step in to support the right family.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warmly,

rj
