Today we are talking with Liz Carroll about money!!

The views expressed in this interview are solely those of our guest speaker and do not necessarily represent the views of The Experienced Nanny.

Liz Carroll is a life-long student and teacher of making mindful money moves. Originally believing she was "bad with money," Liz did the hard work to rewrite her money story. She needed to drop limiting beliefs about how a woman can earn and manage money to set herself up for financial success in a way she would commit to and follow. It worked. Liz attained financial independence and retired early from her corporate IT sales career. Now, in her encore career, Liz helps other women experience calm confidence with their finances by unpacking and shifting their own money story. She has the unique ability to shed light onto darkness around money, making complex personal finance issues simple. She created the Mindful Money Method, a financial wellness course and coaching program that utilizes a holistic approach to math, mindset and soul-guided desires. Liz is a Certified Financial Coach from Ramsey Solutions, a Certified Life Coach from The Life Coach School and a 200-RYT Yoga & Meditation Instructor from Purna Yoga College. She and her husband live on the Oregon Coast. Their adult children visit regularly.

Logopedista bilingue

Le opinioni espresse in questa intervista sono esclusivamente quelle del nostro oratore ospite e non rappresentano necessariamente le opinioni di The Experienced Nanny.

Sono Valentina e sono una logopedista bilingue. Mi sono laureata in Logopedia nel 2017 presso La Sapienza – Università di Roma, dove ho avuto l’opportunità di studiare disturbi e ritardi del linguaggio. Poco dopo la laurea mi sono trasferita nel Regno Unito, a Londra, dove ho lavorato inizialmente in cliniche specializzate e successivamente nelle scuole primarie (con bambini dai 3 agli 11 anni). Durante quel periodo, ho imparato una cosa importante: il mio intervento di poche ore a settimana non era efficace se il lavoro svolto in terapia non era continuato a casa dai genitori. Da li è iniziato il mio percorso di Parent Coach: mi sono resa conto che lavorare insieme ai genitori per supportare il linguaggio dei figli nella vita di tutti i giorni era la chiave per un progresso del linguaggio veloce, efficace e duraturo. Nel marzo 2020, a causa della pandemia, i miei servizi di Logopedia e Parent Coaching si sono trasferiti online. Questo ha reso il mio servizio accessibile a tantissimi Genitori Italiani all’estero che cercavano una guida per supportare il linguaggio dei propri figli in un contesto Bilingue. Oggi vivo in Olanda e sto studiando per diventare una logopedista trilingue. il suo sito e' https://valegiannini-logopedista.com/...

Today we are talking with Lara Ritson about our experiences in RIE ®

The views expressed in this interview are solely those of our guest speaker and do not necessarily represent the views of The Experienced Nanny.

I first began the Peaceful Learning voyage about eight years ago. I thought of the idea of a nanny agency that provides high-quality, respectful, gentle candidates and a place for parents to receive help and guidance on their parenting journey when I was living in New Zealand. However, a lack of knowledge about the need worldwide, small demand in New Zealand, and careers in teaching and nannying taking me elsewhere meant that Peaceful Learning took a backseat. Four years on, after a career change and relocating to London, it became very evident that what I have to offer was needed. Being a nanny and teacher myself who uses the RIE® principles and Magda Gerber's Educaring® Approach that was introduced to me as a student teacher at The Learning Centre in New Zealand, I felt the frustration and longing to find the right family after joining countless nanny agencies. I had been approached by many families and nannies wanting and using respectful childcare looking to connect who understand what positive guidance means, who believe in child-led learning and that the best way to shape children is through role-modeling and so I thought, why not? How hard can it be to create an agency? (It was quite a rollercoaster!) And now we are here, experienced and ready to share the knowledge I have gained over the years, to help families like you, connect with the right nanny and get the helping hand to guide you on your parenting journey. I feel it is really important to provide the best care for your child. This means nurturing every aspect of their development; the most important and underlooked, especially in the early years, is the emotional regulation and development of a child. Only when a child feels safe and nurtured can they really begin a sustained level of play that can propel them forward. Being a nanny and teacher myself who used respectful care to connect, positive guidance and role-modeling to lead the child to succeed, and child-led learning to sustain intrinsic motivation to learn I can honestly say it really works! It gives me goosebumps to think about the success stories I have witnessed over the years. My mission is to help 10,000 families over the next five years to grow authentic, loving relationships and a passion for living freely and curiously. I truly believe in what Peaceful Learning is about and so do all my team members. All the staff at Peaceful Learning have a background in respectful care, nurturing the whole child and have seen the positive effects, collectively resulting in over 50 years of experience and success. We all genuinely care about who will be looking after your little ones. I am super blessed to have such a wonderful group of people working alongside me; they inspire me and give me energy.
