About Valerie

Nurturing a child's development is my greatest passion, and I am dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on the lives of those I care for. With over a decade of experience, including 15 years as a therapeutic foster parent, I provide a calm, patient, and safe environment for children of all ages, including those with medical fragility or autism. I prioritize constructive, educational approaches to behavior, ensuring every child feels secure enough to grow emotionally. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or working on creative crafts, I love engaging children in meaningful ways. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and travel. I value clear communication and will provide updates in whichever format you prefer. Helping your children reach their full potential is truly the most rewarding part of my day.
