About Helen

Experience: 3 yrs

I love working with children because I get to learn right alongside them. I enjoy following their curiosity, exploring outdoors, getting messy, and figuring out the why behind the world together. For the past three years, I've been teaching gardening in elementary schools, helping kids connect to nature through hands on learning. I'm currently transitioning to a new career path, so I'm looking for some temporary caregiving work while I job hunt. My approach is gentle, playful, and always child-led.

Helen has been an invaluable addition to our family! Our two kids (ages 20 months and 3.5) have benefited greatly from having her in our lives over the past two months while Mom was recovering from surgery and we needed extra support. She has approached their development with a respectful and science-based rigor that we appreciate so much as parents, and the kids have loved playing and learning with her, on walks through the park, Moana sing-alongs, and compassion for their big feelings. We have been so impressed by her organizational skills to allow us to focus on recovery and managing our business while she helped us manage our household, and we have no doubt that she will excel in whatever role she takes on next! We cannot recommend her enough and would be happy to chat with any interested families.
