Services ☀︎

  • Trustworthy, present, playful.

    My childcare style is gentle, grounded, and thoughtful—with a focus on helping children feel safe, seen, and at ease. As a childcare provider, I provide consistent, developmentally attuned care rooted in connection, trust, and curiosity. My background in education and child development informs everything I do—from daily routines to conflict resolution to crafting sensory-rich experiences that honor each child’s unique path.

    Care includes:

    • Flexible, emotionally attuned, & responsive care in your home or neighborhood

    • Child-led play and storytelling

    • Nature walks, library trips, and local adventures

    • Gentle limit setting and conflict resolution

    • Soothing bedtime routines and transitions

    • Support for potty learning, transitions, and family routines

    • Safety-first practices and home familiarity

    • Clear, collaborative communication with caregivers, including debriefs to ensure consistency

    One-time, recurring, and emergency care available. Rates vary based on number of children present, and if additional care is needed, such as driving, house management/cleaning, or taking care of pets. You can find my rates and expectations here.

    Recurring care can be planned monthly. My recurring hours range from 4-30 hours a week. I’m happy to discuss other needs as they come up.

  • Collaborative, curious, attuned.

    My consulting offerings are designed to support parents, caregivers, and educators in creating more easeful, connected environments for children—whether through practical strategies or thoughtful reflection.

    Consulting support may include:

    • Designing home spaces to be developmentally appropriate and engaging

    • Guidance on navigating challenging behaviors with empathy and research based strategizing

    • Support around routines, transitions, and emotional regulation

    • Reflective conversations about caregiving values and approaches

    • Tailored resources and perspective-sharing from an early childhood lens

  • Reflective, empowering, grounded.

    My coaching offerings are in development—stay tuned.

    This service is being thoughtfully designed to support both early childhood professionals, and individuals on a personal growth journey. Rooted in the same lens I bring to caregiving and consulting, my coaching approach blends practical tools with deep reflection—often drawing from the same compassionate strategies we use with children to help adults reparent themselves with curiosity and care.

    Coaching support may include:

    • Guidance for early childhood educators navigating classroom dynamics, center structures, or burnout

    • Mentorship for those dreaming of launching their own care-based business

    • Support for anyone seeking to apply developmentally informed, relationship-based tools to their own inner work

    • Reflective dialogue around identity, values, and self-leadership

    • Resources and encouragement grounded in both experience and heart

    Sessions will be held virtually.
    Rates and scheduling coming soon—please reach out via email to express interest.
