Hi there, I am a gal who loves all people (young, old and everyone in between). I have worked with/raised special needs kids. Two of my kids are on the autism spectrum and both had major speech delays in their youth. In addition, I have worked with children with Down syndrome and varying forms of autism. I'm a caregiver by nature and see my work with people, in whatever capacity, to be a natural following of my heart. I enjoy engaging with those for whom I care and am willing and able to be fully involved in whatever activity is most supportive and beneficial for the person cared for as well as for the family.
