Summary

I was the product coordinator for UGG over the course of 3 years. When Covid hit, it gave me perspective that I was in the wrong career and wanted something more meaningful and impactful. So I dove back into child care, beginning with getting my Waldorf certification.

From there I worked at an outdoor playschool while splitting time with being in a nanny share.

I see myself as a creative professional known for designing nature-based educational activities. I am committed to fostering emotional security and cognitive growth through engaging outdoor experiences and tailored care to each individual child.

I did a Nanny share with a group of children from February 2023 until January of 2025. During this time i worked for Holly Gelow and Ashley Keever.

I had add ons of kids every week, ranging from my two primary children up to 5 toddlers.

As listed under Holly's description, all my activities are nature based and life was the curriculum. From having the kids help me cook and clean, to setting up art projects and collecting materials on nature walks.

One of the only exceptions of indoor time was naps or bad weather (too hot or thunder storms/lighting)
