With 25 years of childcare experience and specialized training in special needs care, I provide compassionate, patient support for children with diverse abilities. Every child is unique, and I create environments where they can thrive and feel truly seen. I have extensive experience with children with various disabilities and developmental needs. I'm trained in CPR, First Aid, and special needs approaches. As a yoga and meditation teacher, I bring calming techniques and body-awareness activities that support many children beautifully. My approach is hands-on and creative--I engage kids through art, sensory play, outdoor exploration, and activities tailored to their interests. I specialize in ages 4 and up and excel at building trust, routines, and connections. Growing up in a large family taught me patience and adaptability. Families describe me as attentive, kind-hearted, and calming--bringing both expertise and genuine warmth. I'd be honored to support your family!
