About Audrey

learn through communication, interaction, and play, so I am excited to spend quality time with kids. Activities like arts and crafts, spending time outside, telling stories, crocheting, hiking, playing sports, reading, baking, dancing, and singing. Because of my patience and my own need for empathy, I believe in redirection instead of punishment. I'm a fan of Gentle Parenting with firm boundaries, clear communication, and natural consequences. I listen to children's needs.
