I have about 8 years of experience working with children and teens in a variety of settings, my bachelor of social work from CSU and hoping to get a double masters in social work and education in a year. I have worked for a while with at-risk youth and youth with special needs as well. I am passionate about building children's confidence and self esteem up, building their resiliency, making sure they are having fun and staying safe, and love to incorporate educational and/or outdoorsy activities with kiddos, while they are in my care. I am responsible, reliable, creative, and fun. I have my CPR and First Aid certifications, and have been trained in trauma informed care and mindfulness techniques. I enjoy spending time with my dog, reading, hiking, swimming, yoga, and learning guitar. I believe that open communication between myself and parents/guardians is important, and strongly believe that all Read more kids deserve to be nurtured, to be happy and safe, and to learn and grow! I have a flexible schedule with mostly day time hours. Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
