About Yen

Hi! Im a reliable, patient, and creative caregiver with over 10 years of experience caring for children, from infants to teenagers. I provide attentive, nurturing care and am happy to assist with additional tasks. Organized and a natural multitasker, I create a safe, fun, and stable environment with minimal supervision. I am a certified yoga instructor and enjoy bringing mindfulness, movement, and calm into daily routines. Yoga has taught me patience, focus, and ways to help children engage their minds and bodies creatively. I love animals, am active/outdoorsy, embrace Montessori/Waldorf-inspired learning with a respectful approach to each child's growth. I encourage activities beyond screens, including crafts, nature exploration, music, and cooking fun. I have experience in food/hospitality, pet sitting/walking, and as a tour director leading tours in Alaska and touring the U. S. with a music and arts company. I value communication, community, and treating each person like family.
