Hello and thank you for your time! I have worked with all ages in various ways for 20+years, as a babysitter, camp counselor, creative movement and expressive arts teacher. I was an aide for a child with ADD and anxiety, and did therapeutic work with him outside of class. I engage children in constructive and educational play, encourage creativity, exploratory learning, physical activity and outdoor time. We can do dancing, sports, play-acting games, reading, and art projects. I engage babies in activities which encourage their developmental milestones, and enjoy dancing and singing with them too. I have a natural ability to attune to children of all ages and have a lot of patience and clarity. Validating your child's feelings and respecting their choices is very important to me, while also maintaining healthy boundaries. I do my best to help grow their confidence and autonomy, as well as encouraging empathy and connection in their interactions with others.

Deborah is magical with children. She is so so loving toward them. She is fun and creative. She takes excellent care of all their needs. I feel completely at ease leaving my two young boys with her.
