The early years are a time of rapid growth—physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Infants and toddlers thrive in environments where they feel safe, nurtured, and deeply connected to their caregivers. Professional in-home care provides the individualized attention and responsive interactions that are essential for secure attachment, emotional regulation, and healthy development.

With Molly’s extensive experience working as an Early Childhood Educator and private nanny, she provides care that honors each child’s unique rhythms, emotions, and innate curiosity. Through mindful interactions, play-based learning, and responsive caregiving, their social, emotional, and cognitive development is nurtured in a holistic way. Gentle guidance helps them build trust, confidence, and a sense of security, while opportunities for exploration and connection lay the foundation for lifelong well-being. When care is approached with deep presence and respect, it goes beyond meeting needs—it helps children flourish in body, mind, and spirit.

Going outside everyday (where weather permits) and exploring the natural world around them.
It is so important for little ones to experiences different sensations, seasons and changes in the nature they are surrounded by.
Carrier walks.
Pram walks.
Learning to toddle walks.
Going to the park.
Going to the library and cafes nearby, connecting with the community they live in.

We learn best when we are having fun, which is why I practice play based learning to aid children's development.

Fine and gross motor development through different activities, whether it be peeling their own mandarin, or jumping in puddles.
Communication and cognitive skills will be encouraged through conversation, songs, reading and problem solving activities.
.... There is a lot of silliness, fun and movement...
 

Working in the home and routine could look like:
Co-sleeping.
Crib naps.
Contact naps.
On the go naps in the carrier or the stroller.
Bottle feeding and baby-led weaning.
Snack/lunch prep for your child.

I follow babies cues. 
Toddlers can thrive in routine it can be helpful for them to know what is coming next and I can certainly aid in that routine for them. 
Others march to the beat of their own drum and I think that is pretty cool too and we can go with the flow. 

Within all of that is that I come from a place of love and nurturing to ensure your Infant/Toddler feels safe and loved when being cared for by me.
