I've grown up loving children. Since, I was 15 years old I have had a number of jobs working with children in some capacity. I worked at my local camp, babysat for family and family friends, and have had internships working directly with children. I consider myself a big kid at heart and love being creative with children to learn and grow. I have a reliable and playful car, knowing how boring car rides can be I created a sensory toy play box. I try my to find new and creative ways to keep children safe, but playful. I have previous experience working in an intensive in-home therapy setting, and currently working in DC with adults experiencing homelessness. As much as my current job had helped me develop professionally, I truly miss the work my work with children.
