Hello. I'm a mom 4 kiddos ranging from jr high to preschool. My passion is and always has been helping people of all abilities. I have been with the same family for over 10 yrs helping their non verbal son that has autism. Lucky for him he found a day school that his family loves, which now leaves me with some availability.
