My name is Diana and I'd love to be your "Modern Mary Poppins"! I am a college- educated mother of 2; I am up-beat, responsible and extremely trustworthy. My Special Needs experience is related to the raising of my 19-year-old son with HFA/Asperger's, ADHD, Executive Functioning Processing Disorder, Sensory Integration Disorder, Depression and Anxiety. I also have personal and professional experience caring for those with unique medical conditions. I have navigated both the CA & MD public school systems from IEP to private placement; my oldest son attended school. I also have experience successfully working through the reams of paperwork that are the SSDI and Social Security Disability programs, and my now has life-long access to the vast array of support systems that he can tap into during college, and beyond.

    Diana started working with our family on a part-time, regular basis 4 months ago. As advertised, she truly is your Modern Mary Poppins. Our 3 daughters (ages 6, 4, and 1) immediately clicked with her and she has instantly become part of our family. She arrives at our home timely. Diana gets all of the girls ready for school and shuttles them safely to 3 different places every morning. She has gone above and beyond in several ways, making 'riding with Miss Diana' an exciting morning and a great start to everyone's day. Diana also helps us maintain our household. She does laundry, makes the beds, straightens, and lightly cleans on a regular basis. With little/no instruction, she took on various projects. We have her to thank for our organized bedroom closet, pantry, kitchen drawers, playroom, etc. We have peace of mind knowing our daughters are in Diana's care and feel fortunate for the additional assistance she is able to offer when it comes to our home.
