I began babysitting at 12 and have always enjoyed working with children. Throughout my teenage years and into adulthood, I’ve gravitated toward roles in education, childcare, and behavioral support.

While attending the University of Kansas, I worked part-time as a classroom aide at a private Montessori school. During the past two summers, I worked full-time as a camp counselor for the same school, organizing group activities and supporting children’s social and emotional growth.

In September 2024, I began working as a Behavior Technician in Kansas. In this role, I provided in-home support for children on the autism spectrum, using principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). I worked on everything from developing hand-washing routines to practicing social skills in public spaces. Alongside this role, I also nannied, babysat, and occasionally substituted at the Montessori school.

My experience spans infants to teens, and I pride myself on being patient, encouraging, and adaptable. I love bringing creativity into my work! Whether that’s through art projects, outdoor play, or mindfulness activities. I find great joy in helping children build confidence and feel safe, supported, and understood.
