The most important part of my experience has been gained as a mother of two girls who are both in high school. In addition to that I've been babysitting since I was 12. I've always loved kids and even after I had my own children was a sitter for families in my neighborhood. I have had a fair amount of experience with special needs children too. I worked for two summers as a teacher's aide at United Cerebral Palsy with some of the most severely challenged children. I worked the weekend shift as a "house mother" at a group home for girls. I've also cared for a child with muscular dystrophy and a child with emotional problems. I am certified in Elementary Education. I also worked at the Ivy League Day camp as a sports counselor and an arts counselor. I love to play and have fun, but understand the importance of maintaining a child's usual routine. I believe that parents deserve to return home and find their home looking as good as, if not better than, it did when they left. When children are in my care I treat them with as much care, concern and respect as I would my own children.
