Let's taco bout it!

Hello, my name is Kelsey, I have a passion for working with children in a supportive, nurturing, and engaging environment. With 15+ years of experience in child care and education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to every family I work with.

I’ve had the privilege of working as an ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapist, supporting children with autism in developing essential skills and fostering their growth. I’ve also worked as a teacher’s assistant in a school setting, where I gained hands-on experience assisting children of all abilities with academics, social development, and day-to-day routines. I see myself as a fun, loving, creative, energetic individual. Mutual respect, appreciation and understanding is very important to me, as well as incorporating fun, yet educational activities and projects for your child/children on a daily basis. I like to model positive behavior, and use precious moments to teach valuable lessons. I believe that children genuinely want to learn, grow and create, just in their own unique way. Seeing the world through their eyes intrigues me. I am CPR certified.

I hope to hear from you.
