I take a child-centered approach, so I look for what interests each child and find ways to explore that. Left to my own devices, I'm all about gross motor development and getting those wiggles out! I take kiddos out on treasure hunts, bike rides, and hikes whenever I can. We play tag, hide and seek, and practice our cartwheels. For the little ones, a neighborhood stroll in an Ergo or Moby wrap to feel the sunshine and touch the budding leaves on all the trees can be a great way to soothe, regulate, and connect. And on those days when we're stuck inside, I love to DJ dance parties, make blanket forts and pillow piles, and tumble and roll around until we're ready for snuggles and a good book.

Favorite children's song at the moment: I'm taking care of a family with newborn triplets at the moment, so I'm humming lots of lullabies. My favorite is "Wanting Memories" by Sweet Honey in the Rock, and Sesame Street's "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon"
