A little bit about me

Since my sister was born 11 years ago, I've been a prolific babysitter not only with her, but with several other kids from all backgrounds including special needs, instilling positive values and experiences. Beyond babysitting, I have rich experience teaching and tutoring subjects from 1st grade through college & I have earned an RBT certification through my time working with kids diagnosed with autism. That means I have clinical experience running trials and adapting to the unique needs of those differently abled, and that I can provide a high level of care to your young one that is above and beyond the norm. I look forward to working with you to ensure the highest level of care for your child
