Hello! I am a pediatric occupational therapist now staying home with my 5-month-old little girl. We are moving to Cullowhee from Asheville and are very excited for this shift! I have 5 years of professional experience working as a pediatric therapist during which I have worked with a multitude of children (ages newborn-18) with varying needs/abilities. Before being a therapist I worked with children in numerous roles including: nanny, special ed assistant teacher, dance instructor, and 1:1 habilitation technician. I have always had a passion for working with children and have worked with countless families as a sitter since the age of 12. I love dance, arts and crafts, the outdoors, cooking/baking, exploring new ways to be healthier and to use more sustainable practices. I speak Spanish (though not completely fluent!) and love practicing this with my little girl. I am looking for a family who wants loving care for Read more their little one/s and who would be happy for my little girl to be a friend to grow with!

Alena sat for our children, and did a wonderful job! She is gentle, caring and considerate and my children felt very comfortable having her over to "play". I felt very comfortable leaving my children in her care. It's unfortunate for us that she is leaving for school... I would continue ask her to sit for us if she were available.
