A little bit about me

With two years of experience caring for children of all ages—from toddlers to teenagers—I am dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your family! Over the past two summers, I worked as a camp counselor for children ages 5-14 and interned at a daycare, caring for children ages 2-4. Currently, I babysit a 14-month-old, giving me hands-on experience with infants as well.
I am first aid certified, responsible, and enthusiastic. As a softball player and ceramicist, I love incorporating both active play and creative activities into my babysitting. Additionally, I’m comfortable with pets, cooking, household chores, and would love to help out with any homework or projects. With my own car and driver’s license, I can also provide safe and reliable transportation as needed.

A little bit about me

Highly skilled professional with a diverse background in behavioral therapy and childcare, specializing in supporting children with autism. As a behavioral therapist, I provided early intervention services to children aged 2-8, focusing on skill acquisition and communication development through techniques like modeling. I am adept at fostering social skills and collaborating with parents to implement effective behavior management strategies, such as responding to tantrums in ways that discourage negative reinforcement. Complementing my therapeutic expertise, I bring over four years of experience in childcare, including meal preparation and engaging children in stimulating play activities. This combination of skills allows me to provide comprehensive and nurturing support to children and families.
