I recently moved to Basalt and am interested in babysitting while I build a private counseling practice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist who has worked with children in schools, pediatric offices, and clinics. In addition to having in depth knowledge of normal childhood development, I also have expertise in working with children who have ADHD, attachment issues/adoption history, and high functioning Autism. I would be able to provide child care for children who struggle with these issues as well as for children with normal development. I use a child-centered approach, in which I engage children in their strengths and interests and interact in a positive, supportive, and caring manner. For children that are interested in the arts, I can offer my skill set as an Art Therapist by encouraging their creativity and self-expression through art making. I am highly responsive to parent requests and sensitive Read more to the unique needs of each family.
