Hi! I have been a special education paraprofessional for two years now and I have been a nanny for 3 children for 3 years. I was inspired to become a caregiver for children when my little brother was born! He has apraxia and grew up using a communication device and going to speech and occupational therapy. Experiencing that journey with him showed me how resilient children are. They inspire me daily. I have a 4-year-old nephew and he is my whole world! I don't have any children myself, but I am always around children and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am CPR certified and CPI certified which is from the crisis prevention institute.
