I'm a creative, patient, and flexible caregiver with conventional and special-needs experience (ASD verbal and nonverbal; ADHD). I'm currently studying biology at UCLA and plan to earn my teaching certification to teach elementary science. Kids have such incredible brains, I love watching them learn and helping them grow. I can meet what your communication needs are- live updates, a written note, or a quick debrief before/after, whatever works for you! I'm not a strict disciplinarian, I enforce household rules through redirection and positive reinforcement. Often kids just need somewhere else to put their energy when they're being destructive or having a hard time. My approach to play is hands-on and creative- crafts and games, physical activities like dance parties or tag. I play guitar, crochet, and make jewelry, so I love using art and other tools of self expression in childcare. I've also tutored math and science for 5 years- I am a capable and enthusiastic teacher!
