Hi, I'm Kimmy! I am a recent college graduate and a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. I currently work at Craig Hospital, a rehabilitation hospital for spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. In the past I have been involved with adapted adventure sports for individuals with disabilities, such as rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, ski/snowboarding, camping and more! I have worked in adaptive recreation and inclusion for children and adults with disabilities in a variety of camps, programs and activities throughout the past 6 years. I have also had a wide range of experience working and caring for individuals with disabilities and it has become a huge passion of mine. I have worked in programs teaching basic life skills and working on independence, which I am a firm believer in playing and having fun! My ASL proficiency has also really aided my experiences. I truly believe in improving quality of life for the individual and equal opportunities! I would love to get to know your family and discuss your needs so please feel free to contact me with any questions! Although my background is in the disability field, I also love to do regular babysitting for date nights, weekends, etc. I am currently looking for part-time hours in the evenings and weekends. I do work a 40 hour week and my hours are a typical 8:30-5 p.m. Working with a family that is flexible is very important to me! Please contact me if you are interested in getting to know me more or would like to talk about how I can help with your needs! :)
