Hello! I am a former adapted special education high school teacher moving to Nashville from Atlanta. I have experience teaching children who have been diagnosed with cognitive disabilities, mental illnesses, behavioral disabilities, and other health impairments. I have been a licensed teacher for 5 years but have been working with children for over 10. Prior to teaching, I taught swim lessons for toddlers and special needs children. I was an assistant pre-k teacher and helped teach 4-year-olds. My student teaching provided me a year experience teaching 3rd grade so I am comfortable with all ages of children. I am a warm, compassionate person and I believe a disability or behavior does not define a child or their abilities. I have experience working collaboratively with families to ensure all the needs of the child are met. I'm attentive, loving, and patient, and my goal is to become a nanny to continue to help children grow.
