I have 20 years of music teaching experience, during which I have worked with kids and teens on the spectrum and with various learning disabilities. I have a masters degree in music and am also a certified yoga and meditation teacher. I am patient and kind and love helping those with special needs. I cannot lift heavy weight (transporting in and out of wheelchairs, etc), but can provide general care and companionship, help with medications, appointments, homework, and transportation. I have my own car and am comfortable around pets (I love dogs and have two of my own). I can help with light housekeeping and am a great cook. I also have experience with dietary limitations and meal planning around food allergies.
