About me

Working as a babysitter was the first job I had when I was a teenager, and has continued to be a job I seek out ever since. As a double major in Psychology and Child Studies, and a current Masters in Social Work student, I have spent my time in the classroom learning about human development and how the mind works. I have learned how to understand others and what methods work when it comes to helping children gain mastery throughout their development. My textbook experiences have been supplemented with my hands-on experience with children. I have worked with infants through pre-teens in my babysitting work, and as a camp counselor I worked with teenagers as well.

When I was younger, and was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, or what I wanted to do for a career, I always responded that I wanted to be a mother. Taking care of children has always been what I enjoyed doing and what I imagined myself doing in life. As I went through college and discovered my interest in psychiatric therapy, I decided to include becoming a Clinical Social Worker into my career goals, but my passion for working with children remained.

Childhood is such an important time in life and provides a foundation for the child's whole future. I love being able to be a part of building this foundation for children and helping to send them down the right path. Children are sponges absorbing all that is happening around them, and I want to be a part of making sure their experiences are loving, fun, educational, and supportive.
