About Desiree

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi there! I'm a warm, patient, and experienced caregiver who has been working with children for over 20 years. I have a Master's in Education with a concentration in Counseling, and my passion has always been helping kids thrive--especially those with special needs and developmental disabilities. I've worked with children and young adults ages 3 to 21, creating safe, nurturing environments where they can grow, learn, and feel supported. Whether it's helping with daily routines, educational activities, or just being a consistent, caring presence, I love building meaningful connections and making a positive impact in each child's life. I'd love to connect and see how I can support your family!
