About Heather

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm a nurturing, nature-oriented nanny with many years of experience caring for infants through early childhood. I specialize in developmental milestones and approach each stage with patience, attentiveness, and genuine wonder--infusing magic, play, and adventure into everyday moments. I have worked with many families as both a nanny and preschool teacher, blending gentle guidance with intentional learning while honoring each child's unique rhythm. I am certified in Life Lab gardening and Waldorf lifeways. I am also CPR certified. As a travel nanny, I have worked around the world, which has taught me to be adaptive, resourceful, and respectful of diverse cultures and parenting styles. I would love to connect!
