My Qualifications

I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Christ University, Bangalore, and am currently pursuing an MSc in Art Psychotherapy at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh. My professional experience includes working as an Early Childhood Montessori Educator, where I led programs for children aged 2–3 years, designed creative lesson plans, and organized sensory play and art activities to support cognitive and emotional development. I have also completed an expressive art therapy internship, providing one-on-one and group therapy sessions for children with special needs, tailoring interventions to individual developmental goals. Additionally, I have gained extensive experience through social work internships at organizations such as SOS Children's Village, St. John's National Academy of Health Sciences, and Headstreams Organisation, where I conducted home visits, facilitated group sessions on emotional regulation and menstrual hygiene, and engaged children in play-based activities to foster social interaction and well-being. I hold certifications in Art Therapy, Children's Human Rights, and Advanced Social Psychology, and I am trained in disability awareness and Indian Sign Language. My skills include strong communication, empathy, emotional intelligence, and the ability to create nurturing, creative, and structured environments for children of all ages.

My Availability

I am also available to dedicate more time over the summer, from May to August, which I would be happy to discuss further over a call or in person.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £13.00 per hour

In terms of fees, I am looking at £13–£15 per hour, but I'm happy to have a conversation about what works best for both of us. As a postgraduate student covering my own expenses, I truly value the opportunity and appreciate your consideration.
