A Holistic Approach to Family Support

No two families are the same and no two solutions should be either. My approach integrates continuous observation with gentle support, allowing me to understand and adapt to your family's unique rhythm while providing customized care in these key areas:

Nannying & Childcare

My approach to childcare blends Reggio Emilia, Waldorf Steiner, and Respectful Infant Education (RIE) principles, beginning with responsive cued care for the youngest children. I specialize in ages 0-3 years but am open to caring for older children when household management is included:

  • Emotional regulation support through thoughtful environment design and responsive care

  • Developmental engagement that follows children's natural interests rather than rigid schedules

  • Respectful boundaries that create safety while honoring autonomy

  • Practical life skills introduced at appropriate developmental stages

  • Nature connection throughout the daily rhythms

My care honors children as whole people worthy of respect while creating the consistency they need to thrive during these crucial early years. Discover more about this childcare option

Household Management

Beyond completing visible tasks, I specialize in lifting the invisible cognitive burden that often falls disproportionately on one family member:

  • Household systems that reduce decision fatigue and mental load

  • Meal planning and preparation that honors food preferences and nutritional needs

  • Laundry management from washing to putting away

  • Errand coordination which saves time and mental energy

  • Calendar management to reduce scheduling conflicts

  • Home organization that creates sustainable order aligned with your family's natural patterns

These systems are designed to enhance what already works in your home rather than imposing external standards that feel foreign to your family's rhythm. Explore more about household management

Postpartum Support

The postpartum journey extends far beyond the traditional "fourth trimester." Drawing from my Commonwealth experience where maternity leave is 1 year and extended is 2 years, I provide support whenever your family needs it—whether in the early weeks or during challenging periods throughout your baby's first year and beyond. I create a gentle sanctuary where:

  • Physical recovery is prioritized through nourishing meals and practical household support

  • Emotional transitions are honored without judgment throughout the extended journey

  • Family bonds are nurtured through systems that allow partners and siblings to connect with the new baby

  • Cultural traditions are respected and incorporated into your care plan

  • Feeding choices are supported with practical assistance and encouragement

Whether you need in-person daytime support, overnight assistance, virtual guidance, or a combination approach, postpartum care is tailored to your family's specific needs at whatever stage you find yourself. Learn more about postpartum support
