Hi! I’m an engaged and responsible caregiver. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and graduated the Red Cross babysitter’s certification - but that was some years ago! In my late 20s, I became a certified respite foster parent, holding two certifications in approaches to partnerships in parenting and trauma informed childcare. I am trained in CPR. I’ve been a Classical cellist and a writer for most of my life, and I’m a hobbyist on the guitar and piano. I hold a master’s degree and have a background in social work. I love engaging children in learning and exploring through age appropriate activities, from crafts, trips to the library and playground, to cooking and baking and creating art. I will work with you to ensure I am engaging your family in just the way you need.
