About the Author
About the Author
Written by Maria, a seasoned holistic nanny who’s spent over a decade walking alongside families and supporting children’s growth in playrooms, this guide is her answer to the resource she wished she had when she started: something simple, practical, and genuinely supportive. It’s written from years of real-life and hands-on experience - observing, guiding, and nurturing children in real homes, real routines, and real relationships. It was created to support you as you support the children in your world, and step into your role as a trusted guide, a steady presence, and a meaningful influence in a child’s life.
Drawing from the best of Montessori, Steiner, nature-based play, and child-led learning, Maria brings these philosophies together into one accessible, real-world toolkit.
