I'm a pre-K-12 school counselor-in-training and it'd be a privilege to help families while I work on my master's in education and relevant credential. Feel free to reach out if you're looking for someone available most weekdays in the late afternoons/evenings or part-time on weekends! I'd use the agreed-upon communication style and provide updates or ask for assistance. I'd communicate to promote the children's safety and well-being. Let's work together to develop growth mindsets! I'm a child advocate and educator by profession. Still, I can be firm and fair, as I've been in previous work experiences with kids. I've worked with children in various environments, such as healthcare settings, research labs, and after-school programs! My favorite things to do with kids are playing soccer and chess, teaching them Spanish, reading, and singing. As a lifelong learner, I'm more than willing to engage in the children's interests to build rapport and create meaningful childhood memories!

Vanessa was not only kind and caring and professional, she is literally everything you could ask for in a person who will be caring for the most precious people in your life. She was prompt, asked all the right questions to ensure she had everything needed to make sure our kids were safe and happy. She got to know what our kids loved to make sure their time with her was fun and memorable. Our kids absolutely love her and keep asking when she'll be back. My youngest even cried when she had to leave because she enjoyed being with her so much. We will definitely continue to use Vanessa on a regular basis. She's truly wonderful!
