I graduated with my bachelor's at Radford University majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders, also minored in American Sign Language. I am currently obtaining my Master's in Speech-Language Pathology at Jacksonville University. I was a seasonal employee at a day center for kids with special needs in Virginia, and a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant at a private clinic called ACME Therapies Co. I have a huge passion for kids and love to educate communities on the talents and capabilities children have, as well as provide a sense of worth and importance for the kids who are in my care. For 4 years I was a part of BBBS, a mentoring program for at-risk youth. I spent 6 months in the Philippines helping with a non-profit called, HOPE Worldwide, assisting in early childhood development. I am active, creative, enjoy animals of all kinds, enjoy the arts, and love being in the outdoors. Resume and references available upon request!

    Desiree was wonderful. She was comfortable without pets as well as handling our son. She was very friendly and made it a special night for our son while we went out. I would absolutely recommend Desiree. She was dependable, safe, and such a friendly person.
