Hi! I’m a recent college graduate with a B.S. in Speech, Language, & Hearing Sciences and am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I have over 4 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school-aged kids, and teens, as well as children with autism, developmental disabilities, and complex medical needs. My background includes working as a special needs nanny, substitute teacher & paraprofessional (PreK-12), student teacher (infant, toddler, & preschool), babysitter (toddler), and pediatric occupational therapy intern—giving me a strong foundation in child development, behavior management, and supporting diverse learning and communication needs. I’m trained in using AAC devices, implementing individualized behavior plans, and creating fun, engaging activities that support learning, creativity, and social skills. Families describe me as patient, empathetic, and reliable—someone who meets kids where they are, while keeping them safe, happy, and engaged. Whether we’re reading, playing outside, doing crafts, or Read more doing schoolwork, I aim to make every day enjoyable and meaningful.
