I have Master's degree in young child education with a Montessori focus, I am certified to work with children 0 to 6 years old and I am most comfortable to work with children newborn to 6 years old, but I have experience with children up to 10 years old. I am an AMI trained Montessori guide and have greatly enjoyed my time with children in the classroom. I went back to school during the pandemic and became a speech therapist. I now specialize in early intervention services. I have worked with children ages 12 mo to 6 years old in a school setting over the last ten years but am now focusing on home care because of COVID risks in schools. I believe in interacting with children as unique individuals, showing them full respect and helping them develop personal independence, social skills, and a true sense of self confidence.
Hi, I'm Ari! I'm a patient, thoughtful, and dependable caregiver who is passionate about creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive. I am currently pursuing my Master's in Social Work with my bachelor's in Psychology. I also work part-time at a memory care facility, where I've spent the past year supporting vulnerable elderly with compassion, patience, and attention to their individual needs. I have more than five years of childcare experience caring for children from 2 months old through the preteen years, and I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I believe in meeting each child where they are developmentally while encouraging kindness, curiosity, confidence, and emotional growth through positive interactions and engaging activities. Safety is always my top priority, and I deeply value respecting each family's routines, parenting preferences, and expectations. I believe that honest, open communication builds trust and helps create the best experience for both parents and children. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives parents peace of mind while creating a fun, supportive environment where children feel valued and encouraged.
Hi, My name is Harper. I’m a 24 year old transgender woman saving to go back to school for nursing. I like to draw, paint, play tennis and video games for fun. I have worked in variations of clinical support and caregiving for the past 8 years. Some settings I have worked in have been… -ILC as a para educator for middle & high schoolers with cognitive and intellectual disabilities. -Respite care, taking care of primarily kiddo’s and some adults with conditions like down syndrome, autism, and more in the comforts of their own home. -LTAC as a CNA working with older populations often in their twilight hours -Memory Care, working primarily with Alzheimer’s, parkinson’s, and stroke patients. -Covid ICU as a CNA to help my community through 2020& 2021 including the first ever covid related lung transplant. -Multidisciplinary surgical post op as a Lead CNA -And Burn ICU as a Burn Technician providing wound care and assisting with debridement and other procedures. I am Vaccinated for everything under the sun, I am CNA, AHA BLS, and Surgical Technician certified. I have hefty experience with clinical skills such as CPR, Urinary Catheterization, Heimlich Maneuver, G Tube Feeds, Ostomy and stoma care, Wound Care and more. Beyond my clinical expirience, I also have a passion for working with individuals with all kinds of needs. I’m happy to help with homework, arts and crafts, meal assistance and cooking, laundry and so much more. One exception is I drive an old pickup with two seats and no airbags so I can not drive anyone in my car but I can drive any vehicle provided for me. I look forward to meeting with you and your loved ones ☺️
Hi! I have been working in childcare for over 8 years. I have a teaching license for kids Birth-8 years old. I have worked with infants all the way to elementary school kids. I also have been petsitting on an app for over 2 years in Colorado. I love looking after pets and kids because they always bring me so much joy with their smiles, laughs and cuddles.
I am a mom and a therapist looking to support other young families in finding moments of self care and connection. I have a flexible work schedule and am open to screening calls and meet and greets!
