I am a certified teacher for K-6 grades. I have experience with ADHD, Asperger's, Autism, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Mild-Moderate special needs. I was a nanny to 2 boys (one a teenager and one a 7 yr. old) with ADHD in the past. I was also a nanny to a teenage boy with Bipolar Disorder. I have years experience working with Special Education when I was in school. I have also coached swimmers that were ADHD, Autistic, Asperger's, depression, and down-syndrome. I taught many students who have had Asperger's, ADHD, ADD, and mild/high functioning autistic. I have enjoyed working with children with special needs since I was in elementary school, spending my lunch and recesses in the moderate-severe SPED classroom. I also have had my students visit and spend time with the students at m previous school to see what compassionate, loving, kind, and a mere wonder children with special needs are. They are special in so many ways and I love to help and give back.
