As a mother myself of two beautiful children and previous experience in the corporate world, I understand the need for childcare that's not only reliable, but feels like a second home to your child. I am flexible with hours, offering both on-site childcare (depending on location) along with welcoming your child into my home.

I have now been a babysitter/ nanny for 3 different families that have a child with autism. Although all children are different I feel that I can try my best to help whatever the circumstances be speech trouble, moving trouble, eating trouble, etc. I am only 20 and know I have a lot to learn but I'm here to help!
I've been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I've always loved kids and actually work as a pediatric dental assistant during the day. I've had lots of experience with special needs kids and am CPR certified due to my job.
