I have been working with children on and off for about 35 years. I have worked as a nanny, respite care provider for children with disabilities and their siblings, a developmental specialist, a teacher, an early intervention specialist and a caregiver. I have a Masters in Special Education with an emphasis on children with visual impairments. I was endorsed as an Infant Health Specialist as well. I founded and ran a dog rescue for about 20 years so having pets in your home is fine. I will be available for occasional caregiving or recurring if only one day a week. I can also be a backup if your nanny is out for some reason. I work part time as an Early Intervention Specialist with Easterseals which is why I don't have a lot of time. I do have a fingerprint card since I am working with children at a professional level. I am happy to talk with you about your needs to see if we are a good fit for each other. I am also happy to send you my CV.
