As a mother and an award-winning teacher, I earned a master s degree in education so I ve studied child psychology& employ best-practices for child care. Trained in First Aid plus infant, child and adult CPR, I ve endured my own child s medical complications in the NICU, so I m at ease with children who have medical complications. In addition, I adore special needs children! They hold a special place in my heart as I think they are angels from God, sent to teach us compassion and love. I teach and have taught numerous students with special needs from children with Down Syndrome to children with Cerebral Palsey, autisum, Ausperger's and more. I feel very comfortable helping them! As a mom, I understand how difficult it is to leave one s children with a stranger. I ll work hard to ensure you have the stress-free vacation you deserve! As a teacher, the state of Colorado has finger-printed & background checked me, so that you know I am trustworthy & qualified to care for children.
