About Mikala

I'd describe my personality as caring, hard working, and energetic. I like working with kids because it is rewarding. I love getting to help them grow and learn and providing them a safe space. I love seeing the world through their eyes. I'm looking for a job that has a flexible schedule as I start graduate school in the fall to get my masters in Social Work. I started working with kids when I was in middle school. I've taught several horseback riding summer camps, babysat, helped at daycares, and observed play therapy sessions. In my spare time, I like to work with my horses, walk my dogs, and spend time with my friends and family. One thing you should know about me is that I will always be honest with you and will ask as many questions as I need to to feel comfortable with what you need and expect from me. My skills include ability to be active/be outside, patience with fits or resistance to bedtime, and willingness to learn what works best for your family and child.
