I have been working with all ages of children with autism and physical and mental delays. I have also been involved with children with extreme anger issues. My passion in life is to nurture and teach children with these conditions. to just connect to one of these children is the best feeling and to teach them something they have been struggling with just puts the icing on the cake. I believe every child with a disability is an individual and should be treated as one!

    Amy has worked with me for several years now as an educational paraprofessional in a setting with students with developmental and intellectual disabilities. She is an amazing caregiver with an intuitive understanding of how to meet the needs of the kids! She handles difficult situations with grace and understanding, whether they are behavioral, self-care or self-help needs. She makes the mundane fun for the kids, and yet never compromises on her expectations. Amy is amazing, and you would be lucky to have her as a caretaker for your children!
