Hello there! I am a graduate of Idaho State University who has discovered a love for working with children with special needs. Over the past four years, I've had wonderful opportunities to work with a variety of kids throughout both their school years and summers with ages ranging from toddler to teen. More recently, I've gained skills in working with kids with special needs. This includes meeting children at their developmental level, and helping integrate therapy goals into the home/daily activities. My greatest strong suits when working with children are patience and creativity. Building an environment where kids feel safe both physically and emotionally is my top priority; that way it's more fun for everyone. I am a very active and outdoorsy person regardless of the weather and have a soft spot for animals and board games. If you need someone who will work to keep your kids off of electronics while creating a fun learning environment, you can count on me!
