I have been working with children and adults with special needs my entire life. It is truly my life's passion and I absolutely love it. My professional career was working as an elementary special education teacher. I have now retired and moved to a small farm in the mountains of Virginia. I am comfortable with a wide range of ages, conditions and ability levels, and can offer assistance with academics as well as personal (daily living/self-help) needs. My specialty is working with persons with Down Syndrome, but am happy to work with any disabling condition. I am a very happy person with a sunny personality.
