I have been working with kids for over 20 years! I have worked as a nanny and teacher at the same time for most of those years. Currently, I am searching for families who need help with their littles- specifically infants. I have worked for several years with infants (a few sets of twins) and right now that's where my calling is. I love to help them develop and learn new skills. I am experienced with various methods of sleep training as well. Alternatively, I love teaching the little as well! I currently tutor in homes for ages 2-7 years for 1-2 hours each session. I am Montessori certified and have developed a unique way to bring a Montessori classroom on the road with me. It's been a lot of fun. I try my best to slip in language and math the most, however, I also make sure they get some hands-on learning with practical life and sensorial activities to keep their brains working in different ways. I absolutely love it!

Chanena is the best. I was a sleep-deprived, hormonal mess with a colicky baby, but she came into our home with her sweet, positive, bubbly personality and it was like someone let the sunshine in. She's been caring for my sweet boy (who's now perfectly sleep trained, thanks to her help!) for almost a year now, twice a week, and she's truly like family. He gives her kisses and they laugh all day - and I get a much needed break, knowing my little boy is loved and cared for by a quality caregiver who's basically family now! She goes above and beyond, tidying up and chatting with me about developmental stages and Montessori principles. We feel so lucky to have her - she's more than a caregiver, she's an educator! I've put off writing a review, but she deserves everyone to know how exceptional she is and what a blessing she's been to our family. Ignore the bad review. They were sketchy, I saw the texts. You'd be lucky to hire Chanena for your children.
