A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Rebecca. I graduated years ago with a bachelors in psychology. Through college, I nannied for a family with an infant and toddler and also worked as an in-home ABA therapist for a child with Autism. After graduating, I worked in an Autism program at a private school. I then took a number of years off to raise my own children (now 11, 13, and 14). I am currently a special educator in the Howard county public school system and am about to finish my master’s degree in special education for children ages birth-3rd grade, but am interested in other options and would love to see if there is a family who would be a good match:). I love working with infants, toddlers, and children with Autism.
