A little clip of our cleanup time!

Cleanup time together is usually no fuss because we’ve been building the skill, habit, and understanding of teamwork and responsibility!

Encouraging language through encouraging pauses!

I like to start encouraging language development through repetitive songs and books that are predictable and have a word they know to repeat. Usually the words at ends of sentences or that have a big emphasis in the story/song.

These are usually simple songs or sounds!

As they get older, you can start developing language and critical thinking skills more by asking open ended questions like “where did we go?” “How are we going to get there?” “What are we going to play with?”

There might be an answer you’re looking for, but don’t make it the “right” answer, explore their answers and language! Using questions can help you with transitions and working together as a team too.

An example of a potential convo between you and your young toddler:
Adult: “Do you remember where we’re going?”
Tot: “park!”
Adult: “oh the park would be really fun we should do that later. But we’re actually going to go to where we ride the shopping carts! Do you know where that is?”
Tot: “store!”
Adult: “yes the store! How are we going to get there?”
Tot: “bike!”
Adult: “oh the bike would be so fun too but I think that might be too far for us on our bike. What does I drive us in?”
Tot: “car!”
Adult: “yes the car! Let’s go find it!”

Build vocab, communication skills, critical thinking skills, and teamwork! Win win win, win 🥇

I went on vacation with my nanny family for the past month and there was a lot of new environments, routines, and places for little one to explore and learn!

This brought up a lot of feelings of disappointment because little man was in vacation mode and just wanted to party all of the time.

A favorite was riding around on the golf cart with his grandparents! (A fav of mine too, I happily took any activity opportunity that took me off of my feet with a broken toe 😂)

But, we weren’t always ready for this activity, and this is how we transitioned from activity to activity when he’s REALLY ready to go.

It didn’t prevent every meltdown, which is not the goal- we can’t save our children from experiencing painful emotions (or ourselves), but sometimes through communication, we can prevent some tears and through increasing understanding.

Does your toddler struggle with meltdowns/tantrums because things aren’t moving fast enough for them??

Obviously not the only thing I do as a nanny but sometimes I think that’s what people think this is what I do all day😂

this is how I fill in those long indoor days when I feel higher energy.

I play with the kiddos in the way that I enjoy along with the ways THEY enjoy.

Little one here has been obsessed with this ride-on bike. I’d pushed him around the room at least 10-15 times and was getting tired of the laps and running😂

So I threw on some music and made it an improv ride along dance performance that we both loved 💃🏻 🚴

I’m backkkkkkkk! What are you most excited about in upcoming content?🌞 🫧 ☺️

I’ve decided to recreate my presence here to share life, tips, and nurturance here.

I began nannying a 2 month old last summer and he’s now 16 months and while I’be been a nanny for a long time, with every little you learn and grow.

I’ve also been studying psychology for school and have been increasing my understanding of Littles in academia and in life experience.

Watching, reading, and listening

And I feel like it’s my duty and responsibility to share it with you all and support other families where I can.

So hi!

I’m back♥️☺️

Our first ever Bubble Bebop was last Saturday and it was everything my little heart has been dreaming about for the past year!

@itsdevynwithawhy and I came together to bring you Bubble Bebop and plan on bringing more in the future!

I have so many visions for how these will mold, develop, and grow!

At Bubble Bebop, kids and adults came together to learn the basics of east coast swing, explore bubbles and play, and enjoy the presence of one another coming together in community and unity.

Thank you to everyone who joined in on the fun AND I hope to see all of you and more at our next 🫧Bubble Bebop🫧 - a family and child friendly outdoor swing class and open dance experience!

Sign up to my email list at the link in my bio to get updates on what’s coming! I’ll be sending out April’s newsletter this weekend!

The life and reality of raising and helping to raise mentally and physically healthy kids.

I feel like emotions can be compared a lot to kids boogers… we don’t have a lot of control over when and how often they come so accept it as it does and always have tissues ready😂

“She’s always there”

Everytime I hear this song ALL I can think about is my inner child and the walk we’ve taken together since becoming conscious and aware of her presence and impact on our life and choices.

Building a loving and caring relationship with her has changed everything in my life and has taught me how to foster more patience and grace with myself💖

Very excited about this episode!!!

I loveeeee inner child work. We were all once children and the spirit of those children lives on through us and is often making many decisions and actions in our lives today, even as adults.

When we learn how to bridge that connection and offer support, love, and presence to our inner child, we open up new opportunities for healing and comfort to bring us back to our wholeness and self acceptance.

Give it a listen and let me know what you think🧚🏼‍♀️💖

Fun facttttt that many of you probably don’t know and would never guess:

I used to have pretty intense social anxiety and identify as an introvert!

Now I feel more of an ambivert (I NEED alone time to recharge) but I don’t feel social anxiety much anymore (unless I have had stimulants like caffeine that just cause anxiety in general for me)

It’s been years of healing, releasing, and growing to get to a place where I feel not just comfortable, but confident taking up space, making noise, and frolicking around as a bubble fairy😂🫧

I can’t say it’s been any ONE thing, because any kind of healing and growth happens from an accumulation of resources and support- but there have been three core pieces for me that have helped me reclaim my own confidence and peace with holding the judgement of other people & social anxiety:

🧚🏼‍♀️rescripting what’s happening in my head- saying, writing, and thinking about affirmations that contradict what I believed about myself
🧚🏼‍♀️inner child work to reconnect with those wounded pieces of me so I don’t feel so much shame around my anxiety/fears
🧚🏼‍♀️DANCING, there was a moment at a full moon ceremony silent disco hosted by a friend where something just….opened within me and I finally gave myself the permission to stop giving a damn what other people thought about me (right after this was the birth of KOMA) and I danced my heart out on the beach at night, wearing headphones, looking like a full blown GOOF and feeling ALIVE

I hope you give yourself some grace today and everyday my friend🫧💖

I can’t tell you how many times people have compared me to Jess from New Girl….I feel it’s pretty accurate especially this quote🤔 thoughts???

All of these are true, especially the glitter one😂

I had a young girl approach me as I was crouched over a bubble rod hammering it into the ground with a rubber mallet and she says “you can be strong and make bubbles!”

And a little piece of me lit up that THAT is what she saw.

A woman expressing her strength and softness.

Weaving between the dainty fairy frolick and then getting to WORK building this bubble empire.

Hosting bubble events, nannying, inner child work…all of this work where I get to be a part of children’s lives and play in the depths of emotion: joy and despair, bravery and fear, love and heartbreak.

What a gift what a gift what a gift.

But also…what a pressure we all feel right?

To always be making more of ourselves
Always be proving ourselves
Always be outshining the “I”s of the past.

And how much of that pressure that was passed down and down and down from generations of our family and parents.

I hope you all gave yourselves some grace and love today-

and know that even if you spend all day talking to children and playing with glitter, you’re still smart, and tough, and strong😉✨🫧

Episode 6- Back to Spirit on the Back to Heart podcast is live on all platforms, including YouTube!

In this episode I share some of my personal beliefs about spirituality and connection.

I talk about what God’s unifying love is, my past resistance to the church and religion because of my identity and experience being queer, and how confession can be an act of personal forgiveness and love when we feel shame.

Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts, link is in my bio✨🙏🏼🫀

I remember holding and looking at him while my sister was resting after birth thinking “this is going to fly by so fast, remember this”. His chubby little round face, those little newborn suckles and smacks, sleepy eyes, new baby smell, that hospital room “quiet” with all of the beeps and shuffling of feet outside of the room

the past couple of years we haven’t been able to spend as much time together because of distance but the heart doesn’t love any less,

Happy birthday peanut 💖✨

I’m so beyond grateful and excited to announce my In-home Mindful Family Consults! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👩‍👩‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👦👩‍👧👨‍👦‍👦

This will be one of my foundational offerings to further support parents locally.

These in-home consults have been a dream offering of mine since 2020, and after all of the chaos and shifting following the pandemic, I’m so grateful to be in a place to offer this to families.

Parenting and raising children is an ever evolving and growing process.

We’re discovering and rediscovering ourselves in the process of nurturing little ones, and unearthing areas of ourselves that need nurturing too.

And sometimes, we don’t know how to do that.

In-home Mindful Family Consults are to support a healthy and compassionate approach to discipline for your unique family dynamics and children and lead you into more Present Daes with your family.💖

Serving Pinellas and Pasco county (some of Hillsborough, please message me if you’re needing support!)

Get more details at the link in my bio, or DM me with any questions!

I want to send out a public appreciation post for this guy because most of what I’ve created has only been possible because of him. (And he’s also just a great guy and deserves some gratitude sent to him)

Kaikani Vanity, or as most of you know him, Kaia, was the backbone of KOMA when I first started building this local bubble empire.

Our relationship shifted from partners, to friends and roommates early last year, but his support of me and my work never ceased.

I moved out of our shared home this past weekend and have been reflecting on how much love and care he’s put into my life and success, without any expectation from me.

I remember him coming home one day and excitedly opening an Amazon box saying “look at this giant watermelon ball I bought!” 😂 (yes THAT giant watermelon ball)

He put so much time, energy, and resources into KOMA and genuinely loved spending time connecting and playing with the children of our community.

He’s always ready to roll around with me in the grass as alligators, dedicates FULLY to the chicken role, and patiently guides and teaches children how to create and blow bubbles.

This tender and loving man is a blessing to this planet and I’m grateful I’ve had him as such an intimate part of my life these past few years.

I’m grateful we’ve been able to navigate really tender and emotional moments together as previous partners and were able to come into a friendship with a deep respect and honoring of each other.

He’s shown me whats possible with conscious relating and im so happy we’ve been able to share this with the world together (check out my YouTube at link in bio if you’re curious)

Kaia is my best friend and fellow honorary bubble fairy.

Thank you for all you are💖🫧

Shoutout to my mama for giving me a really adorable middle name.

I’m not sure if Dae is the influence of my personality or if my personality just coincidentally matches, but regardless it’s very fitting!

Dae is where my website name “presentdaes.com” and business name Cierra Dae Conscious Creations is rooted in!

I love it because it reminds me of sunshine and life. What I want all of my work to come back to!

It’s been a challenging truth to accept,

The time has come for the closing of my class offerings. 💔

It’s been a year of chaos, expression, connection, play, joy.

Life is shifting and transitioning and my focus is in my training with a type of social and emotional learning called Conscious Discipline as well as furthering my education.

My work coming in the future is being more intimately involved in the family home, helping to educate, support, and nurture more connection.

Until then, thank you for being a part of this ride. For being a part of this community.

I can’t even begin to describe the gratitude I feel for each and every one of you who have been a part of my classes in any way, shape, or form💖

I hope to see you at one of our final classes, and may we meet again🙏🏼✨

Find emotional expression that helps give the emotion a voice: movement, writing, painting, singing.

It doesn’t matter what it is, just :
1. Use the body
2. Let it say something

Give the emotion a voice
Give it a movement

Turn stone to water
Letting the feeling flow and not harden in the pits of suppression

Respect your feelings enough to care about what it has to tell you, show you, give you.

Sometimes the movement is crying on the floor.
Sometimes the movement is dancing on the floor.
Sometimes the movement is crying while dancing on the floor.

Whatever you do, don’t do nothing
Don’t tell it it’s being too much
Don’t distract it
Don’t blow it off, sweep it under the rug

In the beginning, movement is stillness
Learning to make peace with the uncomfortable
Making friends with the tightness
Making friends with the fear
Anxiety
Disappointment

Offering it empathy,
giving it permission to temporarily be in the body,
knowing that this won’t be their permanent home because they get to move through you at the pace it needs to

Don’t mistake ignoring for stillness.
Suppressing emotion isn’t accepting emotion

We’re not using movement to get rid of these emotions. To shun them. To purge from them.

We’re using movement as an expression
Looking at the anxiety and asking, “hey, wanna dance?”

Inviting them into the tango,
Playing between lead and follow

And when they’re ready, they’ll choose to move on, grateful for the friendship you’ve made,
for the voice you gave them

This year didn’t feel like I was coming out of youth like the past years of my life had.

This year felt like a coming into,
less shedding and more extension.

Becoming who I could feel underneath all of those layers that felt like chains around my limbs.

My early 20s being the most confronting, heartbreaking, and challenging years of my life.

Tying my shoes and running headfirst into unraveling my karma.

Knowing that that id be better for it on the other side.

Knowing that it was my duty to make the hard decisions, say the hard things, do the hard work that so many couldn’t or wouldn’t because walking my walk felt less like a choice and more like a commitment I made in this life time

And here I am, on the other side, and she was so right.

I think the soft underlying grief we feel around our birthdays is our knowing and unconscious understanding of inevitable deaths

The me’s that have faded from Me

And then there’s that simultaneous ping of hope, excitement, faith around our birthdays

The me’s that are finding Me

Hands out, palms up, receiving all there is to hold for me in this next year of my life

Welcoming all of the creation, destruction, learning, loving, giving, moving, making, and molding

My intentions for this year:

Commitment to my education and learning. Continuing to build my communities and work. Trusting and making unwavering choices. Loving me all the way in all ways, prioritizing myself beyond just my successes.

Goals for this year:

•In love: expand and open my heart in ways that feel the most tender or triggering. letting myself love and be loved to depths I haven’t experienced yet

•in work: establish Outdoor Movement Adventures. Begin school at SPC. Get certified in Conscious Discipline and study ACT therapy.

•personal: practice more slow, intentional movements. Devoting to myself through a morning and evening practice. Letting there be time to be bored so I can explore Me beyond distractions and noise and movement. Daily meditation and visualization practices.

Connection is a natural human desire and NEED.

Not just as babies, but far into adulthood.

When we’re young, we’re establishing our understandings around connections, community, and family.

Connections are moments of bonding, familiarity, and love.

Simple but intentional and real connections make a WORLD of difference to developing minds.

This is what my KOMA classes were built for- to bring us back together. To give children spaces to connect and bond. To come back to commUNITY.

I’ll be posting another reel on HOW to connect within relationships✨🧚🏼‍♀️

Moving my body today and wasn’t planning on this emotionally deep reel😂 I was just going to show you how my “workouts” look like because I hate doing rigid exercises and have realized that with my brain that gets distracted pretty quickly and easily, finding workouts that are playful and fun keep me moving.

KOMA began from this place. Finding a class that gave space for kids and adults to move in a playful way without rigid expectations.

I have a piece of my journal from last year that I wrote “stop wishing your mind were like someone else’s and start loving yours”

This applies to all parts of my experience where I feel like I’m not fitting into how I should be: my work, my mind, my love, etc etc.

And for the most part, I’ve lived by this advice. I’ve moved in ways that work for me.

I hula hoop and do squats at the same time, I explored love within polyamorous dynamics for years, embraced my queerness, I’ve created a hodgepodge of incredible work in my life.

And it’s made for an interesting life, one I wouldn’t trade for any boxes that I used to desire.

Fill in this statement for whatever is applicable to you: Stop wishing your _________________ were like someone else’s and start loving yours. (Kids, life, mind, etcetcetc)
