Retired Occupational Therapist and current "Meme" to preschool & elementary school-aged grandkids, I aim to support families and children with the best learning, growth, and well-being opportunities. I promote happy, healthy children socially, behaviorally, and physically, to grow and learn through play. Children thrive with quality one-on-one interaction and care. I offer 2 - 4 hour personalized therapeutic-inspired enjoyable play sessions, at your child's pace at your home, playground, park, or children's gym. Educational, skill-focused toys, and equipment are available as well as materials for focused craft and project activites. ● Proficient with American Red Cross Infant/Children First Aid and CPR ● Pet lover, outdoors & nature lover ● Child and family advocate ● Occupational Therapist licensed in good standing
