I love meeting and caring for children of all abilities! In my pursuit of becoming a teacher I have taken countless courses on how to help children with varying needs. For four years I was a coach in my hometown's Unified Sports Program. I have counseled/directed at a summer camp for 6+ years, working closely with many different children. I have specifically cared for children with autism, down syndrome, ADD, ADHD, tick disorder, disruptive mood disorder, and more. If you have a question on if I have worked with a specific need, feel free to ask!

    She is organized and cares for her kids. A future teacher, she has been the leader of a large summer camp for years. She is dependable and has a passion for what she does. Would highly reccomend!
