About Haven

My experience with children spans mental health, education, recreation, summer camps, and private childcare. I've learned that every child is unique, and I enjoy creating safe, engaging environments where children feel supported, confident, and free to explore. I hold degrees in Psychology and Marine Biology and love incorporating creativity, nature, science, and hands-on learning into everyday activities. Whether we're making art, exploring outdoors, playing games, or discovering something new, I strive to make our time together both fun and meaningful. My background as a recreational therapist helped me develop a calm, patient approach to emotional regulation, communication, and positive behavior support. I balance warmth and fun with professionalism, clear boundaries, and respect for family routines. I'm an active, dependable, low-screen caregiver who loves encouraging curiosity, creativity, independence, and outdoor exploration.
