I have a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I currently work as a therapist for children. Before that, I worked as a registered behavior technician for children diagnosed with autism. I also have years of experience babysitting children of ages 1+. I’m energetic, playful, and friendly, and I’ve never met a kid that didn’t like me! I love to have fun with the kids but I’m big on being clean and organized. I would also describe myself as responsible, attentive, and patient. I pay close attention to the children, provide constant supervision, and place great emphasis on safety. To add to that, I like to pay special attention to your house rules and any cultural or religious practices that you have in your home. Throughout my time working with children, I've worked with families from many different backgrounds. I always embrace the opportunity to learn about different Read more cultural or religious practices so that I can respect them while I'm in your home. I usually bring toys and supplies for arts and crafts with me when I babysit to keep the kids busy. When it's possible, I like taking the kids outside to play. I believe in creating engaging activities tailored to each child's interests and age. Whether it's crafting, outdoor adventures, or bedtime stories, I'm here to make sure that your child is safe and happy while they are with me!
