My name is Clara and I am a psychology and education student in my third year at UVM. I have 2 years of experience as a community based behavioral interventionist and 7 years of experience working with kids. I emphasize patience, unconditional positive regard, and accountability in my work with kids. With an educational, personal, and professional background in children's mental health, I emphasize social-emotional growth in my work with children. I believe kids should lead the way and am there to assist while maintaining safety, expectations, and structure. I have supported children in exploring various interests such as music, arts, math, science, and sports. I'm happy to help with cooking and meal preparation, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I have First Aid and CPR training. I am also skilled and trained in de-escalation, co-regulation, and behavior change. I regularly update parents via text or phone call, and I follow their preferred communication method.
