I'm currently completing my internship year as a Marriage and Family Therapist in training and looking for some part time work. I currently do therapy with kids between 3 and 14 and their families. I have many years of experience nannying for families, with kids ranging from 4 months to 12 years old. I'm comfortable preparing meals, changing diapers, putting down for naps and bedtime, driving kids to activities, playing games, interactive and playful teaching subjects. I also have five years experience working as a cabin counselor at summer camps through YMCA and AHA, with kids ages 8-14. In 2014, I'm very educated in childhood development, interpersonal neurobiology, personality types, learning styles, positive reinforcement and creative/ experiential learning. I'm a huge fan of childcare approaches that encourage integrity, independence, leadership, creativity, problem solving, engaged learning, and free expression.
I've known Leah for over a decade; I was first her middle school teacher and later her high school director. At those small schools, we got to know our students very well and Leah has always been a standout. As she's continued her education through college, we have kept in touch. Leah is kind, intelligent, responsible and brings the highest standards to whatever work she undertakes. I would trust her with my child, my house, the keys to my car, etc. She's creative and thoughtful, a good listener, resourceful, dedicated and fun. I recommend Leah most highly!
