About Haley

I am a recent grad w/ a MA in Counseling Psychology w/ a concentration in Expressive Arts Therapy and looking for a summer nanny position before returning to clinical work in the fall! I just finished 9 months at UCSF Benioff Children's hospital, being clinically trained as an Art Therapist and have many years of prior experience w kids. I spent 6 summers as a Junior Lifeguard instructor, teaching ocean skills, first aid & CPR. I received my AA degree in Early Childhood Education at community college in 2019, then graduated from UCSC in 2021 w/ a psychology major and education minor. I have also worked as a behavioral therapist, primarily with children who have autism. I spend my free time in the ocean, surfing, diving, and sailing. I also love to hike, camp, and run. I am creative and artistic, and enjoy making art (fiber, textile, ceramics) and reading. I am a confident, positive, and grounded person, and absolutely love working with children, encouraging them to be themselves.
