About Vanessa

Hi families! My name is Vanessa, and I have spent several years working with children in a variety of settings, such as babysitting, classroom support, and most recently as a kindergarten Forest School teacher for the past two years. I have a strong passion for child development, and I bring a patient, creative, and energetic approach to every child I care for. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have a bachelor's degree in Psychology, which helps me understand children's emotional and developmental needs. I love engaging kids in hands-on experiences, whether that's doing crafts, exploring nature, reading together, or going on fun adventures. I'm all about helping kids learn and have fun, while bringing a patient, creative, and positive energy to each day with them. In my spare time, I like to hike, paint, hang out by the pool, do yoga, and spend time with family. One thing you should know about me is I am bilingual, which makes communication even more fun.
