About Desiree

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi! I'm a mom of two (ages 1 and 6) and a former elementary and special education teacher. I'm stepping away from full-time teaching to have more time with my own family -- but I still love spending my days with kids. I have a Bachelor's in Elementary and Special Education, with experience caring for little ones ages 1-3 and older kids with special needs. I'm patient, reliable, and easygoing, and I roll with meltdowns and changed plans without missing a beat. At home, we're big on outdoor time and off-screen play -- blanket forts over screen time, any day. I bring that same energy to every child I care for: present, engaged, and genuinely having fun. Looking for someone warm and trustworthy? I'd love to chat!

Desiree was the first person who worked with my son with autism. He was in middle school. Taking this first step into having a stranger come into your home can be an overwhelming journey for any parent. She worked on life skills within our home. Desiree has a calming and patient presence which made things much easier. She transformed this pivotal time into a period of profound growth, comfort, and hope for our entire family. Desiree also created a predictable and joyful environment where our son felt entirely understood. We will always be forever grateful for her time with our boy.
