Experience: 3 yrs
Certified Elementary Music Teacher, Suzuki Flute Teacher and Grandmother, I have been a nanny since January 2025. I find babies, toddlers and children a constant inspiration, particularly 1 or 2 at a time. After 40 years teaching, I deeply enjoy fresh exploration through the unique new eyes and experiences of little people. I include songs, poetry, rhythm, story telling, reading, free play, and plenty of outside time observing and participating in the magic of the world together. With babies and toddlers I emphasize lots of clear communication about what is happening or what we're doing, seeing or hearing; music and stories; limited but positive choices that provide a sense of agency with safe and clear boundaries; and quiet time, giving space for a child's inner world to flower. I have a strong sense of intuition to find the right balance for each child. Also experienced with special needs. An avid gardener, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, and can chase and carry 2 toddlers at a time!
We feel so lucky to have had the benefit of Lisa’s compassionate and expert care for our little people. She was reliable, highly communicative and warm. She is also an incredible musician which brought me so much joy to hear her play and sing with them. Any family lucky enough to snag Lisa as an expert caregiver and part of their care team should feel completely secure.
