I have been interested in being a caregiver since I was young. I grew up eager to volunteer at local daycares, boys and girls club, or simply to babysit little cousins. I have a bachelors degree in communication disorders and have spent 9 years practicing pediatric speech therapy working with children with developmental delays, autism, articulation disorders, fluency, apraxia and so much more. I have recent experience being nanny (short term care) for a 2 month old, and long term experience in being a nanny for a 9 month old girl and a 2 year old boy. I love teaching and it is almost a habit to try to elicit speech and model language when I am with children. Doing speech for so long has almost made every interaction with a child about engaging them and teaching them something new! I love exploratory play, I love pretend play, I love Read more creating stimulating games with toys and items we have at hand. I am trained and experienced in DIR (developmental individual relationship based therapy) which encourages the adult to follow the child’s lead. This suits me as a nanny and therapist as I love to get into the child’s world and model correction when needed. I am cpr certified. I am currently obtaining a second masters , this time in social work. I am originally from Ben Bolt, Texas. I lived in Houston, Texas where I was trained and practiced speech therapy for 9 years and moved back to Alice, Texas in October 2017. I love children, they are the future of the world and I believe it is important to nurture them and give them all of the care and support they need to make them healthy motivated adults in the future.
