My love and passion for enriching the lives of children combined with experience and education in childcare makes me uniquely suited for this position. Through teaching, counseling and nursing I have gained a rich history of knowledge to enhance the care I give. Right now, as an ABA therapist, I provide behavior therapy and Special Ed. children on the autistic spectrum. I come equipped with a toolbox of strategies and skills to promote positive and healthy development of children. I enjoy being a member of the families and educational teams that work in support of children's growth. I spend most of my day teaching through laughing, singing, playing, storytelling and using creative imagination. I have a lot of mental and physical stamina, patience and compassion in my interactions. I am flexible, able to think on my feet and problem-solve. Keeping children happy and safe is my number one priority. I feel a great sense of fulfillment, enhancing the lives of children and enjoy doing so.
