I have been a nanny for children with autism for the past 6 years, and have loved doing so. I started out volunteering at my church during middle school where I was trained in behavior modification by my mom who is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I always get involved with the kids and play their favorite games, and do my best to spend some time outside. I never leave any messes behind and make sure everything's put away where it belongs. I am a student for speech pathology, and I live in Norfolk, so I'm local. Working with children is my passion, and I would love to talk with you if you think I may be a good fit for your family! Moreover, I also love animals and have considerable experience with them! In the past I have owned fish, hermit crabs, bunnies, sugar gliders, and dogs! I have provided care for all sizes of dogs, lizards, spiders, and cats.

    Colleen has been our child care provider for the last year and we could not be any happier with her punctuality and dependability but most of all, her ability to care for our son with special needs. She is a wonderful person who truly cares about children with unique needs and making the necessary accommodations to support him and our family.
