Childcare
cleared in the state of pennsylvania to care for children. I also follow the montessori-approach for child rearing. With 10 years of expereince, I think I would be a great assistance to your family as you adjust to having a new baby. Whether you have older children that you would like help with, or you need me to look after your new addition for date night - I got you covered!
Child-rearing guidance
I am not only here to help you with caring for your baby and yourself, I am here to help you achieve your parenting goals. Every child has unique needs, desires, learning styles and developmental leaps that need your love and support. My motto for parenting is "We want our kids to not just survive, we want them to THRIVE". We can explore the differences between the two as well.
