Hi my name is Flory and I have over two decades experience in the ABA field specializing on children with special needs. After helping some friends with their occasional childcare needs, they have convinced me to share my skills with the world. If you are looking for someone to supervise iPad time please stop reading now. I believe that all children deserve a healthy balance of physical play and mental stimulation. For instance with my small business "Art Time With Flory" it is about more than making a pretty painting that you can hang on the fridge. My goal is to help children express themselves through art by using their imagination and encouraging them to think outside the box, that is why I always include a little art history and even a physical activity, all in the hopes of helping them practice beneficial social skills while engaging them through art. My background also affords me the ability to help parents with any special needs, specific to their child. Thank You!

    THE BEST! Theses are the only words you need to know to describe Ms. Flory. Flory has been watching my kids once a week for over 6 months and she is hands down my kids favorite person. Flory watches my 2 energetic, active, and enthusiastic kids for 6 hours at a time. She brings activities, games, and art to engage my kids. Flory really listens to the guidance I provide to help support my kids. I'll mention that my son is autistic and sometimes has difficulty with self regulation - Flory is so experienced she was able to jump right in and didn't even bat an eye when my son needed help. My daughter is neurotypical - but has sass and attitude - Flory is also amazing with her, providing my daughter with the perfect amount of attention while also giving her the strong direction that she needs. Flory has also put together dinner for my kids and put them to bed. From an adult engagement perspective - Flory is also a pleasure to work with. She's extremely dependable.
