Hello my name is Victoria. I am an online college student majoring in fire science and public safety and administration. I have 8+ years working with kids ranging from toddler to high school age. I specialize in special needs care, my love and passion for this started in high school in a mainstreaming program called Best Buddies. Out of high school I took Child Development classes at Cypress City and went on to get a substitute instructional assistant position for the local school district. A few months passed and I moved up to become a health aide; this included g-tube and trach care. While I have a huge passion for youth I also grew to love my community and public safety. I joined a volunteer search and rescue unit and hope to one day work in the field of public safety. A resume can be submitted upon request. So excited to meet you and your family. Giving the best care possible.

    Victoria is a total loving, caring and fun sweetheart. My son asks for her on days she isn't caring for him and gets so excited when she arrives. Having an extensive background in working with special needs kids, it really showed with not only the way she interacts with my son but also how my son loves and respects her. My son is on the autism spectrum with behavioral issues and needs help with the bathroom. Even when it got tough she didn't give up and came up with new ways to work with my son. I love that in a caregiver because most I've hired in the past didn't really invest in my son and just wanted to pass time. Victoria has gone the extra mile and has won my son's heart (which is no easy feat) Finding a good caregiver is tough enough, let alone GREAT ones like, Victoria. Hire her and rest assured that she will be stellar for you and your family.
