A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Caleigh and I have worked with children for over 6 years! In one setting as a martial arts instructor, and currently, part-time as a behavioral therapist. I am in need of more hours, so I would love to meet and work with another family. My first approach to working with children is to have fun! My secondary approach is to make sure I am meeting their needs holistically; I ensure the children I work with feel loved and cared for while I help them achieve new skills and emotional competence.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with children with autism for four years; I also had a client who had autism and a physical disability (cerebral palsy). I worked as a nursing assistant for a year so I would be comfortable with children across a variety of medical needs.
