I have a BA in both Psychology and Early Childhood Education. I am a happy go lucky, warm and energetic person with lots of patience. I spent ten years working in group homes with moderately to severely intellectually handicappped children and young adults. I currently work part time at the Angelman Respite Center as an animator. I worked for many years taking care of one patient with dementia, and a second one with Alzheimers, involved in all aspects of their care. I also took care of a little boy from age 6 months to 5 years two days a week for four years. I have lots of love to give and now that my children are grown up, would really love to help in any way possible.
