A bit about myself, in terms of education I have a BA in Psychology from University of Maryland, College Park and a Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University. I have extensive experience with special needs children including those with physical, learning and mental health disabilities. I also have a background in pediatric neuropsychology. I have a variety of certificates in a variety of therapy techniques that relate to childcare (CBT, DBT, Family Systems Model). While I'm currently employed full-time with the crisis response system for Anne Arundel county I'm looking to bring in a little extra income to help bring down my student loans and increase my savings. I keep up certifications for CPR and First Aid through my work. I love working with children and animals. I am frequently a foster parent for the MD SPCA and I'm always happy to show off the newest kitty Read more or pup that needs a temporary home. In my free time I hike, bike, run, rock climb, kayak or do anything else I can outdoors. I am extremely compassionate, patient and gentle. I babysat frequently through college to pay for the bills and I'm hoping to get the chance to work with a few more families for everyone's benefit.
