About Angela

I'm warm, empathetic, and inspired by the curiosity of children. I started sitting as a pre-teen, including for a family that became my second family, and have worked with kids since: leading nature-based programs for grades K-4, supervising camp groups ages 6-17, and substituting long-term for a 3rd-grade class, including students with IEPs. As Education Coordinator at Garden of the Gods, I created a children's mindfulness series, Mindful Mondays. I use nature-based learning to spark curiosity and sensory awareness, and calm, steady routines to help kids settle and work through big feelings. I can help with meals, light housekeeping, and transportation. I'm CPR/First Aid certified. I'm a nature and forest therapy guide training as a psychosomatic practitioner and yoga teacher. I'm returning to childcare to nurture healthy environments for kids and prepare for motherhood someday. It's been years since I've cared for infants, so I'm open to starting as a mother's helper.
