My name is Wisteria (they/them/theirs) and I am a 31 year-old artist and naturalist. I am currently pursuing my master's in psychology and on my way to becoming a therapist. I have a long history of working with youth dating back to when I started teaching swim lessons in high school. Since then, I have worked as a Camp Counselor, Nanny, Outdoor Educator, and Assistant Director. I have experience with toddlers, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescents. After I graduated from UC Santa Cruz, I spent three years teaching residential outdoor education to primarily 5th and 6th grader. Most recently, I have been working at a residential treatment center for adolescents with substance abuse and mental health issues. I'm oodles of fun, but my number one concern is your child(ren)'s safety. I possess a current First Aid and CPR certification. I am fully vaccinated and I have a clean driving Read more record. All my years of experience means I'm capable of engaging children of all ages. I want to meet your child wherever they are in their development in order to support them in developing their strengths and overcoming their challenges. I firmly believe my role as a caregiver is to develop a relationship with your child and encourage them to explore their curiosities. I'd much rather we play games, make crafts, read books etc. than watch movies or spend time on an iPad. I'd be happy to chat over the phone and provide references, feel free to message me with any questions.

We used Rebecca for a recent ski trip and she was both awesome and amazing. Rebecca was early all three days and helped us with breakfast and dishes as well as entertain the kids while we got ready to ski. While we were out, Rebecca had a constant stream of activities. She took the kids to play in the snow, build snow caves, prepared snacks and meals for the kids, took the kids to the Breckenridge Children's Museum (highly recommended) and for trips in town for cocoa and cookies. We used Rebecca for all three days of our stay and were very satisfied. The Bottom Line is that Rebecca is amazing. She can be trusted, she is highly dependable, and children love her. She is great! We recommend Rebecca!
