Meet Kerryn, our USA representative. Originally from New Zealand, Kerryn spent 10 years as a nanny. She also received her Bachelor’s in Teaching (Specializing in Montessori). Here is where she fell in love with the philosophy and knew she wanted to share it with others. Moving to Portland, OR in 2014, Kerryn gained her Montessori diploma through AMI. Also, during this time, she met her husband and two step children. And now they have their third child together and reside in the gorge along the beautiful Columbia River. Kerryn loves to encourage independence within children, facilitating a child-led day full of love and nurture. She has been so happy to join the team at Peaceful Learning as a recruiter. She loves to help families and nannies find their perfect fit, and believes that Montessori, Steiner, RIE, Pikler and Reggio all begin in the children’s home.

Meet Necane our London Ambassador. Originally from New Zealand, Necane has a Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education). Her passion for working with young children began 9 years ago when she visited an early childhood centre inspired by the works of Dr Emmi Pikler and Magda Gerber. She was completely blown away with the respectful and reciprocal interactions she saw between the teachers and children. This visit changed everything, and she has been working with children ever since. Necane is especially interested and drawn to working with toddlers and enjoys nurturing an appreciation of the outdoors and the natural world. Necane is very humbled to be a part of the Peaceful Learning team as a recruiter, and so enjoys surrounding herself with families, nannies and professionals who share similar values for the youngest members of our community.

Sophie is our UK recruiter extraordinaire!
Since becoming a proud mum, she has delved deeper into authentic learning styles that she used for 12 years as a professional nanny and enjoys using child-centred approaches with her daughter within their family home, based in Somerset. Sophie is amazed by how her daughter (18 months) is growing capable and strong.
She has an honest passion for Montessori, Waldorf, RIE, Pikler, Reggio and Nature-Based Play.
Sophie loves to encourage outdoor child-led play. She believes nature nurtures the development of the whole child and provides endless opportunities for rich sensory learning experiences.
She is passionate about helping others to see the huge benefits these organic learning methods have on the development of the whole child. She is super excited to be part of this journey in supporting professionals and families across the UK.

Meet Diane our super, duper amazing PA that goes around and crosses the T’s and dots the I’s which is exactly what Peaceful Learning needed when she joined the team. She has dedicated her career to helping people work to their best ability and turbo boosting companies. Diane lives with her partner and 11 year old daughter. She loves spending time with them and has a special relationship with her daughter, loves the outdoors and nature, walking with her dogs, baking and sharing with friends. If you hear a friendly voice answering the phone, that’ll be her. As a mother, the whole team ethos of nurturing the whole child resonates an emotion within her and working with Peaceful Learning gives her great purpose and satisfaction to give that feeling to other parents. She feels extremely fortunate to have this opportunity and excited to learn more and be part of the Peaceful Learning journey. She is excited to be part of such an amazing team, she feels inspired by our experiences and aspirations and has a feeling that we will be more like extended family.
