My philosophy of parenting + teaching is based in a deep respect for children as whole people, no matter their age. I have worked with kids of all ages and abilities, including special education and kids with behavioral challenges. I genuinely enjoy the company of children and am consistently fascinated by their perspective of the world. I am passionate about nurturing their growth and development and approach this from a child-led perspective. I can adapt communication to a wide variety of appropriate developmental needs and stages. I'm committed to giving children both the magical, carefree, wholesome childhood they deserve and the adequate support they need to handle the big emotions and challenges they encounter in their daily lives. My biggest strength is patience and teaching social emotional learning. I've never met a tantrum, meltdown, or behavior I could not remain calm in. I'm committed to getting outside, moving our bodies, Read more setting clear boundaries, exposing kids to quality art/music/literature, and challenging kids to grow according to where they are at. Kids are far more capable than we give them credit for - I'm all about teaching functional skills, independence, and effective communication! Background check forthcoming and happy to provide on request.
