I am 47 with my Master's in speech-language pathology. I possess strong interpersonal & problem-solving skills developed working in public schools, Birth-3 & now in private homes. I help families with children of all ages maintain organized, supportive & successful lives by assisting with childcare, meals, light housework, & errands. I use a wide range of techniques with children to create easy learning with reduced negative behaviors that support appropriate cognitive & social skill development. Children remain on-task, productive, & engaged, thinking we are playing & having fun, unaware that we are, in reality, supporting their development goals. Also, I had my EMT license and worked in an emergency room, guaranteeing my competency and flexibility for all critical events. And having grown up in my dad's vet hospital, I love ALL pets!
