Hello there. I’m Nadia (AKA Nadja) Profit and I originally hail from "midwestern" (upstate) New York though I’ve now lived in Central Texas since 2002. I am a single mom of 2 native Texans, a GA-PA 1998 Appalachian Trail hiker, an Army Veteran and a "Jack of many trades". I have been working with children/young adults since my first babysitting gig at 10 (or maybe even 8) years old have held numerous jobs from after school care and summer camp counselor at the YMCA to College Staff Counselor for the EOP (Equal Opportunity Program) summer program to homeschool co-op teacher. I have a background in art (printmaking, photography, metal sculpture, painting etc.) earning a BFA from Alfred University at the turn of the century, I am trained as a birthing doula and most recently graduated from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine with the degree of MAcCHM (Master of Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization). My homeschool journey began when my family stumbled across unschooling, in 2009, when my now 17-year-old was 3. We attended conferences and joined local groups of like-minded families who practiced partnership parenting and child led learning. When not in class or studying for her Texas Medical Board exams, she enjoys gulf coast beach trips, road trips, camping and her tiny home Texas life.
