A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a psychology student with 2 years of experience working with children. I work part time as a registered behavioral technician (RBT) and have additional experience working with children in a clinical context as well. I have experience working with children between 2-13 years old. I like to focus on making every moment with the children I work with filled with fun and education! I always strive to emphasize creativity, structure, and safety. I also am also conversationally fluent in ASL.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

- I was a volunteer at Vaughn Middle School for their Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing program where I would aid the students in acquiring and maintaining sign language fluency.
- I am currently employed part-time as a registered behavioral technician. I provide evidence-based behavioral therapy for children with Autism spectrum disorder.
- I was a counselor at the Boys and Girls Club where I would ensure the children’s safety and implement engaging lessons daily that oriented around success, independence, and healthy habits.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I’m a hobby artist aim my free time! One of my favorite activities to do with children is engaging their creative side! This includes things such as interactive art activities such as painting self-portraits representing the current them and what they envision themselves to be when they grow up, making little crafts like popsicle stick birdhouses, and drawing silly characters based on the descriptions they decide to come up with.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are so many wonderful things that come with caring for children and being a nanny that it’s difficult to name just one. However, if I had to choose it would be the necessity of being a safe space for the children when the parents are away, particularly for younger children who may be more nervous about being apart from their parents. As a nanny, I feel that it’s non-negotiable that one of the expectations of the role be that the children should always feel comfortable talking openly about their needs, expressing their feelings, and trusting that they are with someone that’s fun, safe, and understanding when they are under our care.

My experience with special needs children...

I am currently employed part time as a registered behavior technician. My credentialing is registered for Nevada and can be found publicly if needed. My primary experience with children is working with children with autism spectrum disorder to provide behavioral therapy targeting categories such as self-regulation, communication, and safety. Outside of clinical work, I have volunteered in both school and community settings as an ASL skills volunteer to promote language acquisition and practice opportunities for Deaf and hard of hearing children.
