Special needs is one of my favorite fields to work in hands down. I have experience in caring for many individuals with diverse special needs and medical diagnosis, ranging across a wide spectrum from mild to severe. Additionally I have experience and recent education regarding child development and learning. When caring for any child I strive for our time together to be fun, creative, and constructive. My goal is to provide a fun time with nurturing care, while adhering to the routines set up by every individual family.

    And we do too. Katie is a responsible, caring sitter for my special needs young adult daughter. We have full confidence in Katie when she takes my daughter out in the community. She gives great communication and details about my daughter's health, med administration, diet, seizure activity & emotions which is truly appreciated.
