Poppy W. - Seeking Work in Austin

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Austin, TX: Poppy W.

I have an innate gift with children, which I further developed by working 2 years at a foster care child placing agency.

More specifically, I worked in the treatment home for children considered "Highly challenging" due to a variety of physical, mental, developmental, and behavioral issues.

In order to provide an environment conducive for their healing and progression, I worked with a treatment team of professionals ranging from different therapists, psychologists, and case managers, to develop and implement strategies tailored to each child's unique challenges and limitations.

Through this experience, I have acquired an abundance of skills and resources which has helped me connect with children in a meaningful way that makes them want to strive to be their best selves.

My mission is to be the best role model possible. Sometimes all it takes is 1 interaction to change the trajectory of someone's life. I strive to ensure all of my interactions leave a positive impression.
