I have worked with children and older youth for 10 years. Much of my experience has been working with kiddos with special needs in home, summer camp, and school environments. Being a youth educator has provided me with opportunities ranging from leading backpacking trips in North Carolina, to teaching yoga to under served youth in Oregon, to leading creative writing workshops for incarcerated youth in Arizona! My personal educational background is in Social Justice and Human Health and Wellness, which has provided me with the skills, knowledge and desire to work with youth and families with diverse backgrounds, interests, and challenges. I love to garden, plan meals, and cook -- in fact, grocery shopping is one of my favorite things to do! I am very experienced planning and creating curriculum at all educational levels, as well as planning creative/fun activities and outings! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

We love Chrissy! Chrissy is a very warm, skilled care provider. We hired her to provide after school care for our son, who is a highly energetic, 12 year old with Down's syndrome. Chrissy has great skills with kids - both kids with special needs as well as typical kids. She has behavior training and was able to balance bonding and having fun with having clear boundaries and structure. We would have kept working with Chrissy if it had not become really clear that our son needs to work with a male provider at this stage in his life (for regular/routine care). We still work with Chrissy on an occasional basis.
