Greetings! I am a current high school Special Education teacher with experience teaching adolescents on the autism spectrum and children with ADHD, cognitive impairments, learning disabilities, emotional disabilities, and sensory processing disorders. My teenage daughter has cerebral palsy and is visually impaired and is currently a rock star in high school. When she was a baby and a young child, I learned how to feed a baby with an NG tube and provide on going physical and visual therapy to make her the strong superstar she is today! I go back to school August 12th but until then I am mostly available for occasional care of your loved one.

    I wish I could give Martina 10 stars! From the moment we interviewed, she was so respectful and knowledgeable about caring for people with special needs. Martina is so kind, thoughtful and fun! My brother has enjoyed several days with his "new friend" as he now sweetly refers to her. And my family has therefore enjoyed several days of comfort and peace knowing he is safe and in the best possible hands! Her background in special education was amazing and she brought activities that couldn't have been more perfect for his intellectual level and ability. She collaborated with me every step of the way to make sure we were all comfortable with any experiences and goals for the days she was here. We can't wait to have Martina again soon! He's already asking when she'll be back! Highly, highly recommend!
