Hi, I am Joanne originally from the UK but now call the U. S. my home. I have worked with children my whole adult life. I have degrees in Early Childhood Education & Special Education. When stationed in Naples, Italy with my U. S. Navy husband I was placed in a full time Special Education Substitute position. I worked with children who were diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, Autism, Asperger syndrome, 47xxx along with hearing & visually impaired kiddos. Before moving to TN I worked for Grand Forks, ND Special Education Pre-School system as the General Education Representative. I would take over the classrooms allowing the teacher planning time & was instrumental in all IEP meetings & once a month screenings. I have my own PEC's kit, can work with children who are on a ABA plan & help with assisted/adaptive technology. I hope I can be of service to you, & your family.

    Ms. Joanne has been an excellent caregiver for my father, who has needed care as well as assistance for my Mother who is primary caregiver for my dad. She is a wonderful and caring helper and we are so glad she has been able to be there for our parents. She has helped my father with his personal care, due to his limited mobility. It has been a true blessing for my mother to have assistance! I would recommend Ms.Joanne as a kind and respectful caregiver!
