Hello! I am a childcare professional with 15+ years experience in children's behavioral health, including working with children who have ADHD and autism. My current availability is 7am - 12pm, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
I come from a trauma-informed background and enjoy working with families whose children may have a hard time adapting to new people or places, and require a little extra patience or understanding (I've got it!) I like to focus on strengths and what kids enjoy while working on skills they need to improve. I believe physical activity and creativity are great ways for children to learn about themselves and the world around them, as well as provide healthy outlets for big or challenging emotions. When providing childcare, I lead by example so that kids understand clear expectations of good manners, appropriate behavior in different settings, and using kind and clear language to connect with others.
My CPR/FIRST AID/AED certifications are up to date and I can provide proof of a safe driving record. References from current families available upon request. Thank you!
