---LOCATED IN BOSTON--- Hello! My name is Dess, and I am a proud early childhood educator that understands that care in the classroom starts way before our kiddos reach the building; it starts at home. I am interested in helping families provide that care from home! I have 6 years of experience working with children ranging from pre-k to college aged and children with special needs. I really enjoy incorporating play into my caregiving while keeping things educational and letting children be the directors of their care and education. I am currently working towards a Masters in Social Work with a specialization in Expressive Arts Therapy. Outside of that I work one to one in a special needs pre-school classroom and with middle schoolers. I can also help with Light Housekeeping and Laundry if needed. Just ask! Thank you for reading and I look forward to working with you.
Our two-year-old son had a great time with Dess! She was very communicative with us and punctual. Dess also walked our dog before picking up our son from daycare. Overall, it was a very positive experience and we would definitely hire Dess again!
