I have been a caregiver all my life it seems. Between babysitting for friends and family, to becoming a nanny for a large family with a special needs child and caring for my mother most of the past 12 years. I love to help those in need whenever I can, bringing them a sense of comfort and assurance that the care they receive is the care they want. I have cared for all sorts of children in the past 20 years but the most stand out of all was a little boy with autism and epilepsy. He was a sweetheart and I took him with me everywhere. I understand the challenges of caring for those with special needs but do not fear them. I am quick to learn the habits and routines of those who need a schedule, while still being able to go with the flow with those people who don't. I look forward to meeting new faces and providing what help I can for them!
