I'm a recent college graduate with a passion for working with children of all ages and abilities. I’m trained in CPR and always prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for every child. I especially enjoy learning about sensory processing and using that knowledge to help kids feel comfortable, calm, and understood. Whether it’s crafting, playing outdoors, or building a sensory-friendly activity, I love finding ways to connect and make each day fun and meaningful. Caring for children isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I truly love to do!
