Meet Chandler

  • Occupational Therapist
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi! My name is Chandler I am a licensed occupational therapist who is passionate about helping children and families thrive. I am patient, dependable, adaptable, and love creating meaningful experiences that help children build confidence, independence, and life skills. I believe learning happens everywhere—in the kitchen while baking, during a craft project, on the sports field, through a science experiment, or even during everyday routines. I love finding creative ways to make learning fun while helping children feel successful and engaged. What makes my approach unique is that I don't just focus on the children—I enjoy working alongside parents to create systems, habits, and routines that support the entire family. Life can be busy, overwhelming, and full of competing schedules, and I understand that children often thrive when the adults around them feel organized, supported, and less stressed. As an Occupational Therapist, I recognize that parents set the tone for Read more the home. When families have routines, structure, and systems that work for them, children often feel more secure, confident, and capable. Whether it's creating smoother mornings, simplifying bedtime, organizing family schedules, encouraging independence, or establishing healthy habits, I love helping families find practical solutions that make everyday life feel more manageable. My goal is not only to care for your children but to support your family as a whole—creating an environment where everyone can feel successful, connected, and less overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. I look forward to connecting with your family and helping bring a little more structure, balance, and fun into your home!

My wife and I absolutely loved Chandler and if not for a just-as-qualified sitter living much closer to us we were ready to hire her for our every-week needs! Anyone who had the opportunity to use Chandler in this capacity would be very pleased with her qualifications, her approach and her warmth to your family. We will definitely be using her as appropriate for nights and weekends!
