About Gretchen

With over five years of experience as a licensed elementary teacher and three dedicated summers nannying for twins (starting when they were just 18 months old), I bring a professional yet high-energy approach to childcare. I am currently in training to become a children's counselor, which informs my "warm demander" style: I build deep, trusting relationships with kids while maintaining clear boundaries and high expectations. I believe it is important to get on the child's level, whether that means singing, creating art, or just being goofy and leaning into imaginative play. I pride myself on being able to connect with any child and value transparent, consistent communication with families. Whether you need a steady, long-term teammate for your family or help with one-off needs, I'm excited to bring my expertise and enthusiasm to your home.
