Hello! I have been interested in care giving for children since I was a teenager. My experience includes roles as a camp counselor for children with various diagnoses and disabilities, part-time respite caregiver for several children on the autism spectrum, a preschool one on one aide, and ABA therapist. I've also completed an internship at an inclusive preschool. I have a master's degree in Child Development with an emphasis on atypical development. I have worked as a developmental therapist for birth to three programs. My most recent job experience is as a full-time adult family home manager for adults with developmental disabilities and a day program manager. I have current, up-to-date certification in CPR, First Aid, nurse delegation, as well as my Washington State Home Care Aid License. I'm looking to help out families in need and to get to know some wonderful children!
