I'd describe my personality as compassionate, goofy, and honest. I adapt quickly to novel situations while keeping a calm, lighthearted presence. I am not afraid to be silly, and will make sure I arrive ready to have fun! I am comfortable changing diapers, giving medication, caring for sick children, and transporting them to/from school or other activities! Quick Background: I coached gymnastics for 6yrs! I was the lead coach for ages 2-17 & even ran a class for kids with special needs! After that, I worked full time as a special needs caregiver and finished my psychology degree. Then, I transitioned to work as a Behavior Technician and started my Masters in ABA!
Mars is incredible with our daughter! We feel so lucky to have them care for our child. They foster a fun, safe learning environment. They are reliable, communicative, and friendly. They are incredibly knowledgeable about child development and are a great resource for useful tips.
