About Isana

I'm an English teacher for Durham Public Schools and I have been teaching since 2011. For parts of my 20s and 30s I was a career nanny and I've accumulated 15 plus years of nannying experience working with kiddos ranging in age from infanthood to young teens. I have a master's degree in education and I'm bilingual (Russian). I am a proponent of positive/conscious discipline, developmentally appropriate honesty, and a believer in largely unstructured play-based learning for children. Ideally, I'm looking for a summer nannying position starting once school lets out in June and ending around August 17th. While I can focus most of my energy on childcare and enrichment, I'm happy to provide light cleaning and cooking as well.
