Working with and caring for children is not light work. It requires patience, dedication, compassion, intuitiveness, and innovation. In my 10 plus years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities, I have gained valuable insight into why an individualized approach, which centers the unique needs of each child, is so critical to supporting and uplifting their growth and development as they navigate the world around them. Additionally, I am inspired to enrich the lives of the children in my care by sharing my love of the arts, reading, and the outdoors because I truly believe exposure to these passions will enhance quality of life and maximize learning for all people, but especially young people. Through my experience as a preschool teacher, private nanny and tutor, behavioral therapist and ABA instructor, I have gained so many valuable skills that I believe make me an ideal candidate to continue Read more caring for young people, and I welcome the opportunity to be considered.
