About Jacqueline

Hello! I am an experienced childcare provider with a background in psychology. I have a passion for working with children in both educational and creative approaches. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from UC San Diego and am currently pursuing a Master's in Professional Mental Health Counseling at Lewis & Clark College. This training has given me a strong understanding of child development, attachment, and emotional regulation. In addition to my academic background, I worked as an Assistant Director for a youth theater program, guiding children through group activities, encouraging self-expression, and building self confidence. I believe in creating playful, engaging, and safe environments that supports autonomy, imagination, and social/emotional growth. Whether I'm reading stories, singing songs, or helping with routines and transitions, I aim to bring joy, patience, and a respect for each child's unique rhythm and needs.
