A little bit about me
I'm Rhea, I love doing crafts and currently my favorites are coloring and knitting. I've worked with kids a total of three years. I was a swim instructor for children and adults (youngest 6 months/ oldest 56). I just got out of an aba job here in Fort Collins working with children with autism and adhd primarily. Due to company beliefs, work structure, and lack of support I found it to be an ineffective place to work with those children. I enjoy working with children and helping them learn and grow. I am a child of 7 and grew up caring for my siblings and cousins on a regular basis. I greatly enjoy music and singing I find it helps most tasks. I do not mind in getting recertification in first aid for the role. I do not drive as this is a very walkable town and I enjoy getting around that way but can add it to my goals if that is something you are hoping for. I have a cat named Herman just in case you have a cat allergy in home. I hope if you have questions about anything you reach out.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a Psychology student at Colorado State University and I’ve been working with kids for years. Most recently, I was an Assistant Teacher at KinderCare, where I cared for little ones from 6 months up to 8 years old—but I especially loved spending time with my preschool kiddos. I’m all about keeping kids engaged and having fun, whether that’s doing arts and crafts, reading stories, or getting outside to explore. I love creating a safe, happy space where kids can learn, play, and just be themselves!
