Hello, families! I have been working with children in a professional setting for 18 years. I have worked as a nanny, preschool teacher, special education teaching assistant, behavioral therapist (for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Emotional Disturbance), and am currently a dance instructor. I am fluent in Sign Language and experienced in teaching and maintaining this skill with children. I am trained in behavioral techniques to help individuals cope with their emotions in healthy ways. I am also a trained dance instructor and am passionate about teaching kids through movement activities. I specialized in potty training, creating unique art/projects, and interactive daily and weekly lesson plans. I love crafting, creating art, and connecting with kids based on their interests. I have recently written and published a children's book to help kids talk about their worries. I am excited to instill a love of reading with all little ones.
