I am a teacher with a minor/certification in Special Education. I worked solely as a Special Educator for two of my six years teaching. During this time I worked with many children with a wide variety of special needs. Prior to beginning my teaching career, I worked as a tutor/assistant to a family with two young boys who had Autism Spectrum Disorder. I worked with this family for a few years including being their sole caretaker while parents were on vacation/overnights. I also have my Master's in Early Childhood Education. I have three young children of my own and am currently a stay-at-home mom. I have continued to work with children in a volunteer capacity or tutoring even when not professionally employed. Working with children, particularly those with special needs, is truly what I love to do!
