Hello! I am a teacher, caregiver and mother! I have 4 children ages 14, 3, newborn and one daughter in heaven. My daughter passed away from brain cancer ant the age of 5 January 2023. I am currently out on maternity leave with our newest baby and would love to be able to support families with their most precious gifts. I love working with students with special needs and I have a lot of experience. I have worked as a special education teacher, therapeutic behavioral aide and a respite provider. I would like to work part time with children with special needs so that I may stay home with my son while my husband works.

    Lauren is my sister, colleague, and friend. Lauren is a highly dedicated, trustworthy, loyal individual. She currently watches over my infant son and I have no doubt that she would be great with any child. As a teacher I get to see first hand her knowledge and expertise when working with children of many abilities.
