About Coralee

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Since beginning my career as a nanny in 2010 I have worked for 9 families and 13 children ages 2 months and up. I prioritize time outside of the house with daily activities of walks, visits to parks, the library & story times, attending kids concerts and music classes, exploring OMSI, the Zoo and more. In childcare I take inspiration from RIE, Janet Lansbury and Dr. Becky Kennedy whose book "Good Inside" I highly recommend! With infants I also follow the book Wonder Weeks to help understand and support in developmental leaps. I am passionate about nutrition and derive deep satisfaction from preparing nourishing food from scratch for the kids I care for. As a student of herbal medicine, I incorporate my love of plants into my childcare and am happy to offer wellness support to your family. I have availability for a part time position offering full 8+ hour shifts 2 or 3 days per week with guaranteed hours, accrued PTO, Holidays and a few annual sick days.

Coralee is an exceptional nanny and person that I would recommend to any family. Coralee cared for my first born daughter from 6 months-2.5 year then my second born son from 2 months-present (11 months). Both my children adore her. I feel that she truly sees, appreciates and loves my kids for who they are. We are only parting ways because our schedules are no longer aligning. Coralee is always present in her work with kids. She meets kids where they’re at and follows their lead, she understands the importance of slowing down and connecting. She incorporates age appropriate and fun educational experiences for kids but also the beauty of everyday life. She gets my son outdoors everyday regardless of weather, and often takes him on outings to connect with other children. She has a calming, consistent demeanor that my kids love and are comforted by. Coco is also an amazing cook and has prepared and shared her own healthy and veggie centric meals. She has extensive plant knowledge with herbal remedy suggestion to help when my kiddo has constipation or cold. Once my daughter had a rash and coco brought a home made salve that immediately cleared it. Rest assured, when Coralee is caring for children they always in great hands. My son always seems happier, well fed and rested when I return. Coco is excellent at communicating her needs as well as any logistics related issues to the kiddos that arise. For example, there have been times one of my children needed a weather appropriate clothing update (new rain boots etc) and Coco would incorporate this into their day by stopping at a kids consignment and sending me pics of options. Coralee is amazing and I hope your family is as lucky as mine has been to know her!
