I have been in child care for over 7 years. I have worked in a preschool, as well as special needs classrooms. I also did a lot of babysitting when my schedule allowed. I grew up with a large family, on a farm, so I am well equipped for caring for children as well as your pets.

Early Education

I have no experience with anyone with special needs but I do have experience with Alzheimer's/Dementia. So I have plenty of patience. I have two children so I understand the demands that ANY child can make. Anything I do not know, I'm willing to learn.
