I have been working with children for over 20 years in different roles. I started babysitting as a teenager, and in my 20s started working with children with Autism. I have used positive reinforcement, 1-2-3 Magic, and redirecting to encourage healthy behaviors. I have a degree in Social Work and as a professional I am familiar with child development, and worked as a Parent Educator. I'm trained in Parents As Teachers, Circle of Security, and First Aid and CPR, among numerous other trainings. I understand child development benchmarks and milestones, and know how to facilitate the development a childs emerging skills through play. Working in Family Preservation, as a Social Worker, was what I loved the most about my career. Helping families stay together, where children can grow and learn in a natural, supportive, loving environment was one of the most meaningful ways I could use my education. Now being Read more semi retired, providing childcare is my way of continuing the most rewarding part of my career. I love to cook, docrafts, am imaginative and artistic, and able to keep kids engaged in activities. My hope is to find a client where i can be of service to the family and enjoy watching the kids learn and grow. Many of the families I have worked with Im still in contact and maintain friendships. Please message me for more detailed information on my qualifications andnto see if I may be a good fit for your child care needs. Thank you so much Ari Patterson
