About Kellene

Since 2003, I have been working as a professional nanny and family assistant, primarily in the Connecticut/New York area. The bulk of that time was spent with three families (current one for 13+ years), caring for children from infancy through the early teens. I provide smart, development-focused care with creativity, patience, and affection. Children in my care learn to do daily chores, manage their spaces, play chess, solve a Rubik's cube, map a sentence, ride a bike, foster a love of reading, or whatever else the day brings. I don't believe in boredom; there is always something to do, and something to learn from it. I love getting outdoors and exploring nature, especially micro nature. There is a time and place for screens, but the bulk of the day should be spent doing, making, learning, and interacting with the real world. I love projects, like working together to remodel an old dollhouse, or going on an outdoor scavenger hunt and making an art project from our findings.
