About Vlasis

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I've had the privilege of working as a "manny" for three years. I highly value the role of positive male figures in the healthy development of youth and take great pride in my work. My approach is a balance of "fun, firm and fair." I've also served as an ABA therapist for children living with Autism, a 1-on-1 aid in special needs classrooms, a wilderness guide for struggling teens, a summer camp counselor, and as a private cello teacher. I'm also in the process of attaining my Masters in Social Work from PSU. In all of my work, I bring a creative passion and a patient, grounded perspective that inspires growth and joy. I value open and supportive communication with parents and guardians. Further, I'm dedicated to maintaining a clean home and providing healthy, beautiful meals to those in my care (I love getting the kids involved in cooking projects, too!). I hope that you will consider the opportunity to work together, and I look forward to connecting soon. Warmly, Vlasi

"V" was a wonderful addition to our family and we now consider him part of our extended care network. He is a skilled communicator, patient, empathetic and creative. He really invested in getting to know our son's unique personality and kept a regular, open line of communication with us so we were always united in reinforcing positive behavior and family values. V is great at organizing age-appropriate projects that help children feel ownership while they develop skills. I'm happy to be a reference for any family considering whether to hire V.
