I have experience mentoring children and teens with all kinds of differences and special needs. For three summers I worked as a mentor and lead camp counselor at A Place To Be in Middleburg, VA, who's mission is to serve "People with autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy; Emotional Challenges of coping with bullying or self-esteem issues; people living with chronic illness such as Lyme disease and cancer and those who just need A Place To Be." At A Place To Be I have held one-on-one mentoring sessions with individuals with all the aforementioned labels. I have also been responsible for large groups of people age 10-23, and I had a blast! I have had a particularly good time with some lovely people with autism, but I love hanging out with anybody who is kind, funny, wacky, or can offer me a new perspective on life. At A Place To Be we did music therapy, acting, and art therapy. I am available to babysit, hang out, jam, or give beginner piano lessons to children or adults with physical, mental, or emotional challenges.
