Hi there! My name is Kirstie, and working with children is one of my greatest joys. I believe every child is unique, full of potential, and deserving of patience, kindness, and encouragement as they grow and discover the world around them. I bring both personal passion and professional experience to my caregiving. I've had the privilege of working in a school setting in an autism center, where I supported children with a wide range of needs, abilities, and personalities. These experiences have deepened my understanding of child development, communication styles, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment. Whether it's helping with homework, imaginative play, building daily routines, or offering a calm, supportive presence during challenges, I love being part of a child's learning and growing journey. My approach is warm, attentive, and respectful of each family's values and dynamics. I'd be honored to connect and learn how I can support your family!
