About Isabella

I'm an experienced early childhood educator and nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children 0-15 years old and their families. I'm certified in CPR / First Aid / AED from the Red Cross (valid until 6/20/2025), have completed and passed my Vermont Background check, including fingerprinting as well as a certification in Medication Administration. I have a robust knowledge of baby and toddler sign language and a passion for nonviolent communication. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Hampshire College, a certificate in Trauma-Informed Teaching Practices from the Stockton Rush Barthol Foundation, & a certificate in Intentional Peer Support from the IPS Institute. I'm deeply interested in learning with & growing beside children, families, & teachers through trauma-informed models like Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, Decolonized Nonviolent Communication, Restorative Conflict Resolution, and Intentional Peer Support.
