I have been a caregiver for a family who has a 3-year-old who is non verbal autistic for the past year. I have studied special needs in school and in my free time. I have two references contact me if you'd like to inquire with them.

    Very communicative and was understanding and flexible when our original time fell through. Came early to do a small introduction and a feel of the kids. This was the first time me and my husband ever used a sitter and she made us feel very at ease and comfortable leaving our babies with her. Will be hiring her again!
