Hello! My name is Hope, and I’m thrilled to share a bit about myself as a potential caregiver for your little ones. With 13 years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through their teenage years, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for nurturing and supporting kids. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Child-Centered Play Therapy. This advanced training has uniquely equipped me with a deep understanding of child development and effective communication techniques, enabling me to build meaningful connections with children. Working as a play therapist has taught me how to create a safe and supportive environment where children feel heard and understood, fostering emotional well-being and encouraging positive behavior. In my role as a play therapist, I’ve learned to tailor my approach to meet each child's individual needs, using play as a medium to help Read more them express their thoughts and emotions. This experience directly translates into my babysitting role, where I use playful interactions and creative activities to engage and support children, helping them navigate their daily experiences and challenges with confidence and joy. I am also CPR certified and prepared to handle any emergencies with competence and composure. Beyond caring for your children, I am committed to supporting you as parents by maintaining open communication, respecting your parenting approach, and offering a dependable and reassuring presence. My goal is to provide a nurturing and secure environment where your children can thrive and to be a trusted partner in making your family's life a little easier.
