Meet Holly

Hello! My name is Holly, and I am thrilled to share my passion for childcare and mental health. As a dedicated individual with a strong desire to positively impact children's lives, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health to become a registered play therapist. Education and Aspirations: Currently working towards my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health, I am actively developing a comprehensive understanding of child psychology, emotional development, and therapeutic techniques to support young minds. My educational journey has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of early interventions in promoting emotional well-being and fostering resilience in children. Experience and Expertise: I have prior experience as a behavior technician for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and currently provide therapeutic services for children as young as three years old. Play Therapy and Child-Centered Approach: As I work towards becoming a registered play therapist, I aim Read more to combine my knowledge of child psychology with creative therapeutic interventions. Play therapy offers a child-centered approach that allows children to communicate their thoughts, emotions, and experiences through play, providing an outlet for self-expression and healing. By incorporating play therapy techniques into my babysitting practices, I strive to create enriching play experiences that contribute to a child's emotional development and overall well-being. Fun and Learning: I strongly believe in the power of play as a vehicle for learning and growth. Through engaging activities, interactive games, and imaginative play, I aim to promote cognitive development, creativity, and social skills while ensuring a fun and enjoyable experience for the children under my care. Communication and Collaboration: Open communication with both children and parents is vital to me. I prioritize regularly updating parents on their child's progress and sharing valuable insights from my studies and experiences as a mental health student. Collaboration with parents allows me to align my babysitting practices with the family's values and goals for their child's development. Join Me on This Journey: I sincerely hope that through my babysitting services and future role as a registered play therapist, I can make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children I encounter. I invite families to join me in this growth, learning, and emotional well-being journey for their little ones. Thank you for considering me as your babysitter, and I am eagerly looking forward to positively influencing your child's life. We can nurture their hearts and minds together while fostering a love for learning and self-discovery.
