Hello, My name is Heather and I have 20 years of experience working with young children. I have cared for several children with special needs. Some had been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, juvenile diabetes, depression and sensory integration disorder. I have a graduate degree in early childhood education and a bachelor's degree in applied health sciences and nutrition. I understand the importance of healthy foods and how to choose effective supplements. I also understand medical issues, prescriptions and alternative therapies. I am kind, caring and compassionate. I am also dedicated to providing quality care and able to provide fun and educational experiences for your child. I am first-aid and CPR certified.

    Heather was very attentive and loving to my 12 year old child with Down syndrome. She was interested in his needs and incorporated things to help him improve. My child loves her very much!
