Hello, I'm 36 years old, caring for children has been a long-term passion of mine. My calling is to serve others, especially children. Finding someone solely dedicated to that mission is a crucial component of your search. In addition to being intelligent, educated, supportive, polite, caring, honest, consistent, structured, empathic, and patient, It is a pleasure to encourage and uplift individuals in difficult times. My background consists of being a district-wide behavior coach for Bastrop Independent School District (BISD), Behavioral Health Technician at Seton Dell Children's Medical Center, and a Therapeutic Child Care Specialist at Helping Hand Home for Children, as well as a Supervised Visitation Specialist for Lone Star Social Services. I'll be graduating from Texas State University; graduating summa cum laude. My hope is to continue my education in Child Psychology at a Doctorate level. I am more than happy to assist you if you are looking for someone with the above qualities

    Deidre helped me while I was in Texas visiting my brother with little notice. Deidre was kind caring, punctual and patient. I never felt rushed or pushed even when my body was being less than cooperative. She helped with getting up showering, and dressing. She even pitched in to help with laundry one of the days and that was not something previously agreed upon. Her rates are fair and reasonable. The only "bad" thing is that she is moving to Dallas so she will not be available when I return to Austin next summer.
