About Devaney

Hello there! With 9 years of experience working with children-from nannying to international teaching-I'm devoted to supporting little ones & uplifting their unique essence. I've nannied for 5 families, babysat for many more, worked at a Waldorf school in India, and taught English abroad. I've also assisted at a Waldorf school here in California. I've lived in Nevada County for 7+ years and am grateful to call these lands home. I love caring for children because they are both wise and innocent, and it brings me joy to explore the world alongside them. I honor children as sovereign beings, encouraging their intuitive creativity and unique exploration of life while creating a safe, grounded, & nurturing space for them to grow. I'm passionate about arts & crafting, permaculture, yoga, cooking/baking, seasonal living, being in nature, and creating music.. and I naturally weave these interests into my time with children in fun, enriching, and developmentally supportive ways.
