About Kimberly

With a background as a children's storytime librarian, museum director, ESL teacher, and play based educator, I bring your family a demonstrated commitment to the field of education and early childhood development. For interested families, I also especially enjoy combining caregiving with my passion for the natural world. I am a certified Tinkergarten Teacher, Virginia Master Naturalist, and Ecotherapist, and as the "Nature Nanny", I will take your children outside all four seasons to playfully engage with the wonder of nature as much as possible! At parks, farms, playgrounds, and your own backyard, we will turn on our minds, bodies, and hearts with nature's plants, animals, and phenomena as our inspiration. Along the way, we will find opportunities to build on a variety of early childhood development skills like communication, creativity, early literacy, problem solving, focus, resilience, and empathy.
