About
Brookside Nannies provides care for infants, children and adolescents whose families have an organic lifestyle and who are open to their children eating a vegetarian diet.
We are about promoting a wholistic lifestyle and fit with families whose values center around vegetarian or vegan eating, organic and non-GMO foods. We recommend listening to Dr. Oz's t.v. program aired November 19th 2015 dedicated to raising awareness about the toxicity in plastics and harm caused to childrens health as a result of touching, breathing and digesting. Please take time to learn and start implementing some of the suggestions he gives. Good health is a choise.
We are experienced and educated in child development and use Erick Erickson's stages of development when relating to infants, children and adolescents. We also recommend that parents read about Piaget's theory of intellectual development and how children learn. Communication is an important tool for developing social skills and learning. We promote Marshall Rosenberg's non-vilent communication. We encourage children to be creative and enjoy their time with their nanny through providing resources that help them engage and learn through creative play. Children learn what they have modeled to them by their parents before they have other influencers. We also make childrens organic clothing. We encourage you to call and discuss your particular preferences for color and style. If your child likes dinosaurs for instance we can send you a selection of patterns and colors of yarns for you to chose from. There is a very special lady called E.J. who loves to knit and her work is excellent. 10% of our profits will be given to the Keeler Womens Center, Kansas City Kansas. Benedictine nuns are dedicated to help women prepare for the workplace. Please visit our Facebook page https://www.Facebook.com/Brookside Nannies

I am a grandmother and have been a meditator since 1986 and current practice Shab meditatio which is on the inner light and sound current.
I believe that children can benefit from yoga and meditation.
I believe that ethics is important in our lives and being vegetarian as well as having organic lifestyles makes for less havoc in our physical well being and environment as well as stops the harm done to animals.
The book "Becoming Vegan" explains that children may need to have proteins at each meal in the form of legumes, dairy or alternate products. There are many meat substitutes that are delicious and beneficial to your child's health.
I believe that nature heals and teaches children and allows them to get in touch with their own inner self through health and peace of heart, soul and mind.
Children learn through exploring and engaging their mind and senses.
Children benefit from one on one attention and can connect with enriching resources and programs in the community such as art gallery programs. If your work schedule requires you to leave your house very early in the morning we can be there for you. Seeing children off to school and providing a nutritious breakfast is essential.
We can also provide care on major holidays.
