I am a licensed teacher who also has a background in counseling. I love working with children and making a difference in their lives. I decided to become a caregiver in my spare time because I do not believe learning begins or ends at school. There is much that I can impart into the lives of children in various settings, including at home. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience that I bring to the table. I've worked with students in all age ranges, from birth to high school. I am more than willing and prepared to provide instruction, meals, play time, etc. I should also mention that I was a Learning Behavior Specialist (Special Education teacher) so I am equipped to deal with children with exceptionalities and will ensure that they are treated with dignity and given additional supports and accommodations needed. I currently work in Social Emotional Read more Learning to ensure care for the whole child by fostering restorative practices and language in schools and homes.
