I have over 20 years experience in childcare and education. Over the years I have been a teacher, tutor, behavior therapist, child/family advocate, and caregiver for children and young adults. I have also served on the board of a non-profit organization, raising awareness and funds for children with special needs. I absolutely love working with children. I have worked for various school systems and privately for families in their home. I have extensive experience working and caring for children with special needs. I am extremely passionate about my work. I bring experience and dedication to each child and family.
