My Philosophy

My role is to guide you with love, compassion, collaboration, and understanding while you gain confidence in your position as parent or educator.
Caitlin Escobedo (she/her)
My name is Caitlin, and I am a dedicated birth keeper, childcare expert, and Montessorian. In addition to being a wife and mother to a toddler (if that doesn’t say it all!) I have over 10 years of experience working with children of various ages and hold an Infant/Toddler Montessori teaching certification from the American Montessori Society. I use this extensive knowledge and expertise to provide support and guidance in both homes and educational settings.
I’ve always enjoyed being around children, which led me to start as an assistant at a Montessori school. At first, I didn’t know much about Montessori and her methods. But as soon as I walked into the classroom and saw the children doing things for themselves and being treated with such respect and care, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. So, I received my Infant/Toddler Montessori Teaching Certification through Seton Montessori Institute and started teaching. Later, I also earned my Birth Doula and Childbirth Education certifications through BEST Doula Training. These experiences have really shaped how I approach working with children and their families.
If you are a parent… I am here to guide you in carefully and thoughtfully observing your child’s development and understanding key milestones to support their individual growth. As a parent, you are your child’s first home, first teacher, and primary influence. No one understands your child better than you do. So, let’s use that knowledge and intuition to help them thrive!
If you are a school…I am here to provide professional development to your staff, educational consulting, and even workshops for your parent community. It is my goal to help bridge the gap that can happen between home and school through communication and collaboration. I also provide mentorship to new or growing Infant/Toddler teachers and programs. Let’s connect to explore how we can work together to meet your school’s goals!
