I go by "Pepper". I'm a trained early childhood education professional, and a Registered Behavior Technician. I currently work as a naturalistic play therapist for kids 3-6. I am comfortable and experienced caring for children with disabilities of all kinds, including AAC users and non-verbal kids. I can support potty training and I'm comfortable with older kids who use pull-ups/diapers as well. I LOVE arts and crafts, reading books, dance parties, building awesome things, kid-friendly cooking, and playing outside! I love engaging and playing with kids to make sure they are having fun, and try to avoid screentime as much as possible. I will actively engage and play with your children and not just watch them. My strengths are managing challenging behavior and fostering independence when it comes to household and self-care routines. I am completely comfortable with pets of all kinds; large dogs, rodents, reptiles, invertebrates etc! I do not smoke and I live in a smoke free home.
Pepper watched my son for an evening while I had a work event. She is incredibly professional and kind and takes the business of caring for your precious child very seriously. I appreciate that my son was so comfortable with Pepper that he gave me a healthy and enthusiastic “buh bye momma” and continued playing with Pepper before I walked out the door to leave. Thank you Pepper for being so warm to my son and our family! I hope to hire you again in the future soon!
