I have considerable experience working with special needs children including those with Asperger's, ADD, ADHD Bipolar and Kabuki Syndrome and signed NDA'S. Employing special exercises and a specialized diet, social behaviors and skills dramatically improved with those children. The children began enjoying life more fully. Socialization improvements with parents, teachers, and friends were especially rewarding. As diagnosis affects each child in a unique way individualized programs are called for with each child. Supporting their self-worth and unique accomplishments with positive reinforcement while helping them to learn appropriate social skills is one of my goals working with parents.

    Andrea is terrific. She provided care for our daughter who has special healthcare needs while also managing our household and pets including doing shopping, driving, preparing meals, making appointments, running errands, negotiating with and managing vendors, walking dogs, taking our daughter to the doctor and our animals to the vet, and more. She can handle anything you send her way. She is kind, caring, patient, hardworking, capable, and reliable. You can't go wrong!
