Hi everyone! Iβm a current psychology undergraduate at Lewis and Clark college! Iβm entering my senior year and will be graduating in May of 2025! My primary experience is working with infants and toddlers, especially multiples! Iβve grown up around kids all my life as my family owns a Montessori school in Minnesota! I have an immense passion for child development and nannying feels like more of a hobby rather than a job for me. My philosophy when it comes to childcare centers around providing a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for children to grow and learn in. Outside of school and work, I am an avid rock climber and love being outside more than anything.
