Hi, my name is Richard. I went to school as an education major, and- though I eventually switched into software- I continue to enjoy working with kids. I've been a babysitter for over 20 years- it is a calling and pleasure! Along the way I have been blessed to work with several children on all levels of the autism spectrum, as well as some with ADD/ADHD/ODD. These kids have truly been some of my favorite people to care for! I love trying to understand the world as they see it, and I enjoy building a relationship with them. I also have experience and am comfortable providing care to children with various other medical issues. I am confident that with my experience and first aid training- and most importantly your direction as a parent- I can deal with whatever issues may arise. My space here is limited, but I would be happy to discuss my history and your needs with you further.
