Hi! I have eight years of experience working in the education system (elementary, middle and high school), including five years as a Special Education Instructional Assistant, one year as a Literacy Assistant, and two years as a General Education Instructional Assistant. I've worked with children of different ages, abilities, and needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding that every child is unique and deserves to feel supported and valued. I'm also a parent of a child with complex medical needs, which has given me a deeper appreciation for compassionate, reliable care. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to place your child in someone else's hands, especially with unique needs. Between my professional experience and personal journey as a parent, I bring patience, understanding, compassion, and a genuine love for helping children thrive. My goal is to give families peace of mind, knowing their child is in caring, dependable hands.
