I’m offering video chats! Do you have a budding musician? Need a little motivation to practice? If they know the basics of their instrument, I can guide them through practice and offer some pointers and new perspective along the way.

Background: I am a board certified music therapist and have experience working with children, teens, and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, severe hemophilia, and other disabilities (in groups and individually). I have cared for older adults with Alzheimer’s and dementia. I have also worked as a substitute teacher in the Pinellas county area. I began babysitting in 2008 and have since cared for many families, including a family with twins. I have been trained in Seizure Recognition and First Aid by Epilepsy Florida.

She’s cared for children as young as: 4 months old

When she's not babysitting: I enjoy spending time with my black cat, Jake, exploring the many parks and trails in Colorado, listening to Harry Potter podcasts, and going to the movies!
