With over 8 years of experience in early childhood education, I have a deep passion for working with children with special needs. Growing up alongside a neighbor with shaken baby syndrome, my mother's role as his caregiver sparked my interest in helping children with disabilities. In elementary school, I volunteered in the special education classroom and later became a teacher's assistant in high school. After high school, I worked as a nanny for twin boys and later transitioned to daycare work in Florida, where I climbed the ranks to Head VPK Teacher. I've worked with numerous children with learning disabilities, always feeling a strong connection to those needing extra support. I have a clean background, CPR, and First Aid certification, and I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of children. I would love the opportunity to assist your family in any way I can. Thank you for your time and consideration.
