About Dylan

Experience: 5 yrs

Nurturing children's curiosity and celebrating who they are is my greatest professional passion. I'm a Black, queer, non-binary educator and parent with 15+ years of childcare and education experience, including 10+ years in forest preschool and 5 years as a professional nanny. I'm also a parent to two kids (11 & 8), and understand how important it is to find a caregiver you trust. I provide warm, patient, playful, and neurodiversity-affirming care for infants to tweens, with experience supporting neurodivergent kiddos- my kid is AUDHD & PDA. I love outdoor adventures, crafts, board games, puzzles, creative projects, and following children's interests. I'm also a skilled swimmer and can provide attentive water supervision. I'm seeking occasional childcare, including date nights, weekends, and backup care. I value clear communication, respect children's autonomy, and enjoy partnering with families to help kids feel safe, confident, and empowered to grow.

Dylan is an incredible care taker. They have nannied my two kids for four years starting at 6 weeks old. They have dedicated their life’s work to caring for children in the most inclusive and intentional way. They’re particularly passionate and talented in supporting neuro spicy, LGBTQ, and or BIPOC kiddos who come from all different kinds of families. Dylan is also skilled in outdoor learning, social emotional skills, finding art and science projects wherever they go, reading and language, and math of all levels and has a million tricks up their sleeve with how to guide and care for your kiddo in their growth. I can’t recommend Dylan enough!
