Hi!  So, here's a little about me.  I am currently in graduate school for school counseling and specialize in child and adolescent development.  I will be earning my license as a therapist for kids and teens in about 1 year. I have also worked at The Settlement Home for Children for the past 4 years.  This is a treatment center for kids who have been abused/neglected and have emotional or behavioral disorders (yes, it takes a lot of patience :).  Before working there I interned for the Girl's Empowerment Network of Austin and co-developed a summer camp for teenage girls fostering self-esteem and leadership skills.  During college I was a Nanny for a little boy from a couple months after he was born until he was a little over 2 years old so I have plenty of experience with infants.  Also, in high school I babysat for several families multiple Read more times a week who had children between the ages of 3 and 12.   Some activities I enjoy doing with kids are reading, walking (especially if there is a dog involved :), going to the playground, crafts, and make-believe.  In my free time I love to read (both fiction and non-fiction), spend time with my 5 year-old nephew, Liam and my dog, Siena. A little about my views on child development: -I think playing is an essential way for kids to express themselves.   -I think praise and positive reinforcement is a much more effective form of discipline than punishment (not that all punishment is bad). -I love to come up with creative activities from which kids can learn but also have fun.  Are we a match? If you want to know more or want to schedule a time to meet, please message me. Thanks! Hannah Platt Also, the website would not let me specify my availability on weekdays so I will write that here. I am open all weekdays except for Tuesdays. On Tuesdays, I am in school 12p-9:30p so I have limited availability that day.
