Hello! Working with children is my passion! I have worked with children of different ages in a professional capacity for the past 13 years. I have extensive experience with specials needs children/adults, siblings, and infants/toddlers. I have my master's degree in behavior analysis, a BCBA certification as well as being a licensed Behavior Analyst in the state of Iowa. I also have my first aid and CPR certification. I believe in learning through fun. A child is never too young to start learning and growing! I believe in cultivating experiences that will foster a child's critical thinking skills and curiosity in the world around them, whether that's through arts and crafts or safe science experiments.
