Hi there!
I currently operate an environmentally forward daycare. Eco Start began as just a fun idea of a daycare catered towards urban farming, permaculture, and sustainable living. I teach children about having fun while exploring the nature around us without TV or electronics as a source of distraction. I believe in an interactive hands on approach to learning how to grow our own food, preserve it, and cook with it. "Getting our hands dirty" with outdoor and indoor play by gardening, painting, and doing arts and crafts, is a vital component in children's development as well as healthy diet and understanding the benefits to supporting local farmers and artisans.
A little bit about myself and my extensive child care experience:
I am 33 years old, extremely health conscious, love all animals, and am very passionate about changing the mindset of young children to be self sufficient and environmentally aware. I was always the babysitter on my block growing up until 2 weeks after high school graduation when I moved to Switzerland to be the au paire of 3 boys ages 5 months, 9, and 11. I was a live-in nanny with them for 2 years and then moved to Thailand where I taught English to 2 kindergarten classes at Little Stars Private School. I worked in the nursery upstairs when I wasn't teaching for about 15 toddlers all under 3 years of age. After South East Asia, I moved to Germany where I was the child care giver for a Canadian/German family with 2 children ages 4 and 6. I was with them for about 6 months. I moved to northern California where I nannied for 2 years for several families in San Francisco and Sausalito. The youngest child was 6 months old and the oldest was 8 years old with all ages in between. Since moving back to Vancouver, I have cared for a newborn, 6 month, 2 year, and 4 year old. With the live in positions, I was responsible for all the heavy house work, cooking, and driving to and from school and activities. For live out work, I take care of meal prep, light house work, and driving. I stay busy while the little ones sleep by prepping their meals for the week, planning what activity we will do next, and making sure everything from previous activities is cleaned up and the area is safe. I am very active and am always looking for children's activities to do in the community and in and around the home. I currently have 4 spots left for April and I would love to arrange a time to discuss potential care for your child!
Thank you!
Kelsey
