About Kerstyne

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Mid-thirties educator with experience across all ages and abilities. I've got a soft spot for kiddos with disabilities/neurodivergence, and I'm great with pets of all species and size. A big fan of outdoor education, playing, arts and crafts, and STEM. I've worked as a para, case manager, camp counselor, daycare teacher, and tutor and have experience with complex medical needs and emotional needs. I also had a stint as a dog trainer and animal groomer as well as vet assistant. I'd describe my personality as empathetic, humorous, and thoughtful. I believe in meeting kids where they're at and working on social and emotional learning. My style is gentle, affirming, kind, playful, and firm. I don't believe in yelling, threats, or physical punishment and instead believe in open empathetic communication.
