About Natalie

Hello! I am a second-year Master of Social Work student and currently intern where I provide outpatient therapy and support to clients. I volunteer at Helping Up Mission, where I provide childcare for infants and toddlers from newborn to approximately 18 months old. I have become comfortable caring for very young children and providing a patient, attentive, and nurturing environment. I also have experience in caregiving roles where I monitored clients' medications, accompanied them to appointments, assisted with activities of daily living, and provided emotional support. I would describe myself as patient, caring, dependable, and funny! I love finding creative ways to keep kids engaged, whether that's arts and crafts, playing games, spending time outside, or trying a fun recipe together. Outside of school and work, I have two cats of my own and love animals. I also enjoy beekeeping, gardening, cooking, and art projects.
