Meet Fen! A warm hearted soul with big “let’s make this world softer” energy. As an older sister, she strives to make all the kiddos in her life feel seen and heard.

When they’re not geeking out over silly marine animals, they’re pouring that same gentle enthusiasm into volunteer work—supporting LGBTQ communities, creating safe spaces, and planning sensory-friendly activities for kids on the spectrum. They’re happiest by the ocean, doing arts and crafts, or getting lost in a good book.

Meet Joelle, she has a background as preschool teacher with over 10 years of experience, whose warm, patient nature creates a nurturing and trusting environment for young learners. She finds nothing more rewarding than witnessing children’s confidence bloom as they master new skills— whether it’s putting on a shoe, making letters, or discovering a new favorite story.
