I am an Art Therapist! Yes, you read that correctly! I graduated with my masters in Art Therapy and Counseling in 2021 and currently work as an art therapist teacher in a juvenile detention center. I have worked with children across a wide range of ages and needs! Have a child with ASD, ADHD, ODD? No problem, my experience in the therapy field makes working with these kids extra fun and enjoyable! MY APPROACH: I approach my work with children similar to therapy. I truly believe children are capable of expressing their needs when we meet them where they're at and validate their experiences. The world can be a scary place and children feel so many emotions that feel huge to them! I believe in being gentle, firm, and fair. Collaborating together can lead to great outcomes! Parents who prefer gentle parenting and the Montessori method usually prefer my approach Read more to childcare. Time spent with me babysitting usually includes lots of arts and crafts, playing outside, and can do trips to the park, museum, or anything that encourages your child’s development!
