For the past 12 years, she has worked in a variety of roles to serve families including preschool teacher, early interventionist, behavior therapist, and now a private consultant and podcaster.

Her most recent professional development includes Conscious Discipline™, The Play Project ™, and training with Dr. Ross Greene on his Collaborative Problem-Solving approach. Caley grounds her work in the most up-to-date neuropsychology, Attachment Theory, and developmentally appropriate practices that value the parent-child relationship over compliance.
