About The Festival Nanny
Hello, my name is Kelsey, and I am The Festival Nanny!
I grew up in California, lived in Upstate New York for a few years to obtain my master’s degree (in early childhood special education), and now reside in the Bay Area. I have over 11 years of paid childcare experience in varying positions; I have been a preschool teacher and a nanny for all ages of children, including multiples, siblings, and children with special needs. Before earning my master’s degree from Syracuse University, I earned my bachelor’s degree in child development from California State University, Sacramento. I love working with children and watching their minds grow while helping to facilitate their learning and love for life. I am also very musical and enjoy taking photos (especially of wiggly beings like pets and kiddos!) and helping others to pursue their passions. Being a festival nanny merges all of my passions and interests into one position, and I couldn’t be more excited to be embarking on this journey with fellow music lovers!
