Hi there, I'm Lex, a nurturing caretaker, who integrates elements from Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, and Montessori approaches into my caregiving style. I prioritize creating a warm and inclusive environment that promotes independent play and nurtures children's safety, validation, acceptance, and trust. I believe in tailoring individualized care plans for each child, acknowledging that every child is unique and may have different needs. Additionally, I incorporate nature into activities to educate and engage children with the natural environment around them, since I deeply believe that connecting with nature through play is the most effective way for everyone to learn and connect with the Earth.

We love Lexi! She is reliable, caring, and attentive. She became an extension of our family during the almost three years she’s been with us. Her passion for childcare is evident in the care she shows for our son and the effort she puts into planning activities and crafts for him to enjoy. Words cannot describe how thankful we are that she was with us during this time, she has been instrumental in his growth and development.
