About Courtney

I'd describe my personality as outgoing, reliable, and compassionate. I like working with kids because it allows me to help practice patience, kindness, and embrace the way children view the world. I'm looking for a job that allows me to work closely with children and pets, while providing outstanding care. I started working with kids when I was in middle school as a date night babysitter. My grandparents fostered young children, and I learned a great deal being around children ages infants and up. In college, I worked with teens with mental health challenges in both an inpatient and outpatient setting to help them develop healthy emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. In my spare time, I like to read, do yoga, and spend time with my pet cats. I like to travel when time permits. One thing you should know about me is I'm hardworking and honest. My skills include patience, utilizing teachable moments, and have worked with school aged children in a child care setting.
