I have 8 years of experience caring for children. Since moving to Fayetteville 2 years ago, I have started caring for multiple autistic children, so that is mostly what I am looking for. I'm a big believer in acknowledging all emotions but not tolerating all behaviors and redirecting my kids so they can express those emotions in safe ways. I am a pre vet student with 4 cats, 2 ferrets, 2 chinchillas, a dog, and a fish! My schooling is currently online so I am very flexible with scheduling.

    Kerigan was amazing with my 3 year old and 6 year old for daily care and overnights. She made sure they had everything they needed and they had fun with her. She is engaging and fun with arts and crafts, playing outside, and any other activity my children requested. My older daughter is autistic and Kerigan was able to communicate and engage effectively with her which was very important. Kerigan supported potty training initiatives and was respectful of any other boundaries or expectations I implemented for my children. She was very dependable and was always willing to work extra hours when her schedule permitted. We miss her very much!
