About Grace

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! I have always had a passion for working with kids. My first professional job with kids was at Rainbow House for Boys & Girls in Columbia, MO. I worked with at-risk youth ranging from birth to 17 who were waiting to be placed in foster care. Some of my duties included picking the kids up from school, connecting with case workers, making dinner, and creating structured nighttime routines. After I graduated from Mizzou, I worked at an overnight camp in Santa Cruz, CA, where I was a counselor and lead graphic designer. I'm CPR certified, have my own car, and have taken many childcare training courses. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow. I love to organize games, crafts, pretend play and more. I'm firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I love to read, spend time with friends and family, create art, and travel. I look forward to connecting!
