A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Rhylee. I have been working with kids my whole life. From volunteer work as a teenager, a teaching assistant for children with an IEP in college, a stay at home mom of 2 children, as well as working with children under 2 at an ECE center, my work with children is broad.

I believe in a gentle, loving, and child driven approach. Each child is unique and I believe it is imperative to guide them in a way that allows their individual light to flourish.

Working with children is a passion of mine and I would love the opportunity to meet you!
