Nido Assistant Guide: Hummingbirds

Mrs. Vanessa Kinkaid joined our school in 2023 and has held several roles here, including floater, assistant, and aftercare staff. She was drawn to Montessori education by her love of helping children grow and reach new milestones, and what she enjoys most about working with children is witnessing their never ending curiosity. She has a particular passion for developmental milestones and movement.

Mrs. Vanessa has completed the Montessori orientation course for ages 0 to 3 and holds an Arizona cosmetology license. She brings more than five years of experience working in childcare settings to her role with our youngest students.

Outside of work, Mrs. Vanessa treasures time with her family, whether they are playing games together or simply enjoying each other's company. Her hobbies include playing with her dog, Animal Crossing, coloring, and paddle boarding. A fun fact: Mrs. Vanessa has a twin sister who lives in Flagstaff.

Ms. Vanessa has been serving our community since 2023.
