Caring For Your Children As If They Were My Own!

See profile
Recent honor graduate and sophomore in college, majoring in medicine. Due to my mother being a special education teacher, I've had the opportunity to work with children all my life, especially special needs (references if requested), so caring for children is second nature to me.
