About Mari

Experience: 4 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

My heart is the most full when working with kiddos. I'm deeply passionate about bringing up young ones in a context of compassion, curiosity, fun, joy, and peace. I worked for years as a music therapist in special education and love using music with kids as a way to learn, connect, and communicate. In addition to working with kids in schools and clinical settings for 7+ years (ages 0-18, both typically developing and those with developmental disabilities) I've also worked with kids in the home, ranging from helping care full time for a newborn during the first month of life to helping implement home school curriculum to older kiddos up to 10. I believe learning is a lifestyle and I seek to create a safe and fun environment for kids to explore, learn and grow.
