I’m a longtime New Orleans resident with local references. I’m married with 3 adult sons, 3 grandchildren and 3 little dogs that are my “kids.” I have experience being a full-time caregiver and enjoy working with children and seniors—both see the world so uniquely, and encourage you to be in the moment. I like to read, listen to music, and take long nature walks. How I handle upset children: It depends on their age and why they're upset. I like breathing exercises; "Smell the flowers, blow out the candles." Keeping my voice soft and calm. Empathizing: "I can see that you're pretty upset right now. ____________ can be hard, sometimes." Then, offering an appropriate choice, "Would you like me to help you or do you just want me to sit nearby until you feel better?" Other times, redirecting can work: "I know you're missing your mom, would you like to make her a card or go on a discovery walk, so you can tell her all the cool things we saw when she gets home?" Babies usually just need singing and rocking.Things I like to do with children: Coloring! Dancing, scavenger hunts and pretending we’re animals to stretch and burn off energy. Arts and crafts, stickers, reading aloud or letting a child read to me.
