My name is Courtney L. I have over 15 years of experience providing care to children ranging from birth through and 10. I have knowledge of the principals of Gentle, Free Range & Slow Parenting styles, as well as Waldorf & Montessori Education. I like to use a blend of these models and educational insights. While my primary education is in culinary arts, I have always had a strong love of caring for children. The child mind & spirit are fascinating and should be filled with love, laughter, creativity, patience, understand & wonder. Is a privilege to me to observe and guide children through these tender years. My favorite ways of engaging with children is through age appropriate arts and craft projects, nature observation & art, cooking, neighborhood nature scavenger hunts, practical life skill building, games and reading. While I agree there is joy to be found in screen time, I prefer to keep screen use limited by both myself and the children while providing care.
