Through many years of experience in childcare, I have learned the complexity, challenge, and unique beauty of each family. I understand the importance of flexibility, patience, setting boundaries, and celebrating success. I have worked with children of all abilities and family structures including people with developmental and behavioral disabilities. I have worked at an adaptive summer camp and as a therapeutic recreation guide. I have experience working with kids/young adults with ASD, CP, ODD, and trauma. I choose to provide support through positive reinforcement, consistency, and modeling. I value a holistic, strengths-based approach to relationships and strive to boost the curiosity, confidence, and sense-of-self in the children/young adults I work with.
