I am a 51-year-old mother of 2 grown children. I am a NYS certified and licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant with experience working in a social work setting, providing home child care and working in a public elementary school with typical students and those with special needs. I am passionate about providing developmentally appropriate and stimulating activities. I propose to assist a working parent in the home, or one that can't be home with facilitating their child's educational process and participating with them in dynamic, creative endeavors and skill building activities .

We left NYC for the greener pastures of upstate New York during the pandemic so we had to find new childcare. We knew we would hire Bridget after our first meeting; not only was she a lovely person, but she also had a lot of experience as a Childhood Occupational Therapist. Bridget worked for us full time from September/20 to August/21. She is without a doubt the the best childcare provider that we've ever had. Bridget is kind, caring, extremely patient, timely/dependable and engaging. Our children, L (5y) and J (2y), benefited greatly from her loving care. All of her attention was completely focused on the children when w/ them. She utilized her experience as a childhood OT to teach them all kinds of skills through fun games. She drove our daughter to/from preschool and on 'remote' days would ensure she was engaged. Art, toys and outdoor adventures were on the docket every day. Our kids adore her and if we hadn't moved to FL Bridget would still be part of the family.
