A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Beth but I like to be addressed as Miss Beth to my little charges. I have worked with or volunteered to work with children since I was in junior high ( a long time ago). I love children of all ages and abilities, working in schools as a para educator, a QIDP for Medicaid, a Habilitation Interventionist and a Behavior Interventionist for special needs children. I’m more of a grandma type but with that comes experience and wisdom. I follow CHELP practices, my own acronym.

Creativity
Honesty
Engagement
Laughter
Patience

Storytelling is a favorite pastime and making chores or homework into a game is a frequent practice. Staying within family guidelines and rules are a “must” for me. I approach my employment as a sacred trust. Children are your most precious possessions and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I would love to speak with you about this possible partnership and adventure.

Please contact me with any questions. I am happy to provide references.
