About Cali

Experience: 20 yrs

Hello! I'm a nature-based, creative, and imaginative caregiver with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and have over a decade of hands-on experience supporting children's growth and well-being. I have worked in the field since 2013 and have since developed a childcare philosophy rooted in social-emotional development, child-led exploration, and the belief that learning happens most meaningfully through outdoor experiences, play, and sensory experiences. I am CPR certified, have my own reliable transportation, and am a non-smoker. I strive to build trusted partnerships with families and to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful space for children to learn, grow, and be their authentic selves. I look forward to supporting your family with care that is thoughtful, engaged, and grounded in respect for your child's unique rhythms and interests.

Let me tell you something- Cali is an inspiration. Cali is someone who makes sure no child is left with a wondering curiosity, or imagination stuck. Cali will not only ensure your child(ren) has their needs met, but will also go above and beyond to make sure their imagination and learning brains are working side by side! There is so much to learn from Cali, whether you are an adult or child! So much care, compassion, fun, laughter, learning, you name it! I am so thankful to know the type of care that comes from Cali and would 100% always trust my son to be in their care! Not only that- but Cali has a ton of experience and thinks of things many wouldn't that keep your kiddo(s) engaged and longing for more fun times with them! Cannot reccomend enough!
