About Silken

I am an experienced and compassionate childcare provider with a background in homeschooling, private nannying, daycare work, and caring for both individual children and multi-child families. I'm confident supporting children of various ages and learning styles, and I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), which strongly influences my approach to childcare. My education has helped me foster creativity, emotional expression, and hands-on learning through art, play, and imaginative activities. I believe these tools are essential for building confidence, communication, and problem-solving skills in children. Through homeschooling and one-on-one care, I've developed a child-centered, adaptable teaching style that meets children where they are while encouraging curiosity and growth. I value patience, consistency, and open communication with families, and I see childcare as a partnership built on trust, respect, and care.
