Welcome to Growing Up Sprouts

I have enjoyed being a babysitter and nanny for over 10 years now. Following my passion for spending time with children, I studied Child Psychology at the University of Minnesota’s Institute of Child Development. It was there I realized my interest in the social-emotional development of children and my desire to support families in creating environments where kids can thrive energetically and emotionally.

In 2023, I began living out of a backpack and moved between Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Brasil for 18 months. These experiences traveling inspired me to dive deeper into my passion for yoga and breathwork as well, which I am now holding space for regularly in-person, in Minneapolis, MN, and abroad.

In this blog, I hope to share what I have learned studying child psychology, along with how I continue to apply it in my babysitting, nannying, and travel experiences.

Most of all, I hope to dig deep into the question of how we can grow in an emotionally conscious way.

Thank you for being here.
