I have always enjoyed working with kids with special needs. I have baby-sat my neighbor for over three years now who has autism. I also volunteer at an after school program called Challengers which works with kids with different needs such as autism, ADD, ADHD, etc. During school I take a class called Project Teammate where the students mentor the kids in the high school who are in the special education program. I plan on majoring in Special Education in college as well.

    Christina is a very special young woman. I have known her since she was in daycare at my house, starting when she was a tiny infant. My son is 22 years old. He and Christina grew up together and she has treated S. like a brother every step of the way. I did not let many people take Shane out of my house to do activities, etc. I never hesitated to let Christina walk S. over to my classroom when they were younger, later she walked him home after school and "hung out" with him until my husband or I got home. Finally, she would drive S. home and watch him. I have complete trust in Christina. She knows what she is doing, she is level-headed and very confident. She will always put those for whom she is responsible first. I credit Christina with helping S. to develop the extremely social personality that he has. Whether a child is typical or differently tabled, Christina M. will provide superior care.
