Summary
I've worked with children my entire life, having 11 younger sibling kind of sent me on that path. I love working with kids and have experience with all ages, though I typically work more with infants as I nanny for several families and was an aid predominantly in the infant room. I am CPR certified, have completed SIDS training and am also trained in infant mental health. I work great as part of a team, just as I do independently. I am proficient in working on behavior management with children both on and off the spectrum. A large part of my background also includes working with children exposed to violence or dealing with individual mental or physical limitations. My main focus is to provide a safe environment to help children of all ages grow and thrive.
