Experience: 20 yrs
Nurturing a child's curiosity and encouraging them to reach new milestones at their own pace is my greatest passion! I have over 25 years of experience working in childcare centers, nannying, and then teaching in my own home daycare for 16 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology and am trained in CPR and First Aid. My strengths include working with a mixed age group of children from infant to school age, ensuring a safe environment, behavior management, and creating developmentally appropriate and hands on learning experiences. I have a calm, nurturing, consistent demeanor, am energetic and love the outdoors, maintain strong communication with families, have extensive infant experience, and am great at multitasking! I am comfortable with light housework, meal prep, pets, and other tasks to help your day run smoothly. I truly look forward to becoming a reliable partner in your family's daily life and helping your children flourish!
Look no further! Everything you have been searching for in a nanny/caregiver/educator is right here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Pre-K-12 Certified School Counselor, and Mom of 4 amazing kiddos ages 12, 8, 5, and 15 months. I have known Devin and her family for over 25 years, and Devin has been an instrumental part of my family's everyday life since we enrolled my oldest daughter in her home-based childcare center almost 12 years ago. Simply stated, I trust Devin with my children more than I trust myself and everyone in my family (Devin knows this, but we don't have to tell my hubby!). Devin is a knowledgeable, experienced, educated professional who goes above and beyond to understand and support the whole child and family unit. Devin is well-versed in child and adolescent development and behavior, and she is more than prepared to work with families who have unique and/or special situations and needs. I love how Devin loves life and the process of learning, no matter the child's age. Devin provides a safe environment for all children to explore and grow...She uses an endless amount of strategies, materials, and activities to enhance exploration and growth, and she shares this with parents and guardians so they can be involved in the relationship and process. Devin is highly reliable and well-organized; She always has a plan A, B, and C. A mom of 3 incredible young men herself, Devin is a child expert on all levels. She values family, community, and working to help others. If you hire Devin, you are one lucky Rhode Islander!! And now, a word from my kiddos: "Miss Devin taught us how to make breakfast every week. I learned how to make pancakes and waffles with Miss Devin. I really miss doing crafts with Miss Devin. I will always remember your classroom and the stars on the ceiling in the reading room." ~C age 12 "I miss you so much! You were the best teacher I have ever had! I remember when we would go outside and we would play with the baseball. I miss you so so so much and I want to see you sometime real soon." ~C, age 8 "I love talking to you on the phone when Mommy talks to you on the phone. I love how you are always thinking of us. Everyone misses you a lot." ~C, age 5
