I recently moved back to Washington after living in Helena Montana. I worked as mental health direct care staff for a therapeutic group home called Florence Crittenton for three years and worked with newborns, babies, toddlers , teens and young adults teaching and modeling parenting techniques. I worked in the daycare and the floor. I watched the children for my clients when needed as well. I'm cpr, first aid and sleep safe and CPI trained. I have been tested neg for Tb as required by most daycares. I love children and have a 5 1/2 year old girl of my own. I tend to interact with children in a love and logic way which I was trained in at my old job. I have references from my former supervisor and others I have babysat for. I have an associates degree in mental health.I'm currently going to school online for my Read more bachelors degree in health science and I plan on going for my master's degree in occupational therapy. In my spare time I love to read, sew, cook, and play with my daughter and yorkies. Well that's a little about me. I'm excited to meet you and meet you child care needs!
