I have always had a soft spot in my heart for children and adults with special needs. I grew up in a home where we had adults with special needs living with us. Those experiences grew me into an adult that sought to care for children with special needs. I have the most experience working with children with ADHD and Autism. I am a skilled provider for children with behavioral challenges. I have also provided care for a 4-year-old girl with down syndrome and an 8-year-old boy with diabetes. I am open to learning about many different needs and I learn things quickly. I am passionate about meeting the needs of each individual child. Ultimately, I was to be able to serve in a way that supports the whole family.

    Anita is a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. She was a natural with my son with autism and from the first meeting was warm and engaged. She is a great resource and is knowledgeable about special needs and so much more. We are so glad to have her onboard!
