Hello, I'm Claire, with a degree in Nutrition and a Master's in School Counseling & Expressive Arts Therapy, I bring over a decade of professional caregiving experience to families seeking holistic, respectful childcare. I specialize in caring for children & teens (with a focus in newborn to age 5) —including highly sensitive, neurodivergent, strong-willed, and "spicy" children who need extra understanding and creative support. My approach blends nature-based play, expressive arts, and respectful parenting philosophies inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia. Whether you need consistent care close to downtown Asheville or a trusted travel nanny for your family adventures, I create calm, loving environments where children can explore, learn, and thrive as their authentic selves.
