Hello! For 10 years I was an occupational therapist in a preschool/early intervention program for children with developmental disabilities, then left my position to move to Albany. I love infants/toddlers of all abilities and find joy in caring for them. I especially enjoy working with children who are on the autism spectrum and believe strongly in floor time play as a tool for social connection, learning and development. Although I am now 65 years of age, I am young at heart and can play like any toddler! I enjoy playing the piano, singing, knitting, reading. and playing with our 2 dogs, Zoey and Nugget. From March 2014 to January 2016 I did full-time daycare for one family whose children were 11 months and 26 months when they moved to Texas. Since then, I have, by choice, been doing primarily short-notice, sick-child and one-time care for the children of six families.
