A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Chantel, and I’m someone who genuinely enjoys working with children and supporting families. I’m currently pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy, which has strengthened my understanding of child development, sensory needs, emotional regulation, and how to create supportive, engaging environments for kids of all ages.

I bring patience, creativity, and intentionality to every caregiving role. Whether I’m planning a sensory-friendly activity, helping with homework, encouraging independence in daily routines, or simply spending quality time playing, I focus on meeting each child where they’re at. My OT path has helped me develop skills in observation, communication, and adapting tasks so that kids feel confident, capable, and supported.

A little bit about me: I’m responsible, compassionate, and committed to being a positive, reliable presence for families. I value open communication, consistency, and creating a safe, fun space for children to grow.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in activities that are fun, creative, and developmentally supportive. Some of my favorite things to do include:

Arts and crafts like painting, coloring, and simple DIY projects that let kids express themselves.

Outdoor play, whether it’s going to the park, nature walks, sidewalk chalk, or playing games in the yard.

Reading together, using stories to build imagination, language skills, and calm moments.

Sensory activities, such as play-dough, water play, textures, and hands-on exploration—especially helpful for kids who benefit from sensory regulation.

Structured learning activities, like puzzles, matching games, or early academic tasks that make learning fun.

Pretend play, which helps with creativity and emotional expression.

Helping with routines, such as baking simple recipes, practicing independence skills, or doing small chores together in a playful way.

My experience with special needs children...

I have meaningful hands-on experience working with children with special needs, especially from my time at a children's clinic, where I supported kids with a wide range of developmental, behavioral, and sensory needs. Through this role, I gained experience using positive behavior strategies, supporting emotional regulation, and adapting activities to meet each child’s unique abilities. I learned how to create structured yet flexible environments, communicate clearly, and build trust with children who benefit from extra patience and consistency.

This experience has strengthened my confidence in supporting children with autism, sensory processing differences, developmental delays, and other diverse needs. It has also shaped my passion for pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy, where I can continue helping children grow, learn, and feel supported in meaningful, individualized ways.
