I have work with special needs children and adults at a school and private homes for 30 years. I worked with special Olympics games in Miami for 10 years and here in Maryland for 10 years. I was an Activities Director at the Grand Bay Club and Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne Bay in Miami for 5 years. My favorite jobs were when I was a Lifeguard and trained Dolphins to swim with the disabled clients. I'm passionate about children. I have worked with autistic children ADHD, spinal cord, quadriplegic, paraplegic, stroke, head injury and other special needs children and adults. I have attended the La Cordon Bleu cooking program in Miami. Love to decorate cakes. Taught swimming, fitness, CPR and first aid classes at the YMCA and private. With all the skills and experience I've had with life I love to teach the children what are the world around us has to offer. I like to spend most of my time outdoors using science experiments and arts and crafts.
