I have been involved in special needs advocacy and education since my freshman year of high school. I have served as a leading member of the international organization, Best Buddies, as well as a RBT (Registered behavior technician) for kids with autism. Finally, I have been a nanny for children with special needs for over 5 years. I am passionate about caring for those with special needs because I believe those with disabilities are the most caring, compassionate and (sadly) misunderstood groups of people. I hope to use my experience and drive to better assist, inspire and help those with special needs in any way possible!

    Jake has been the only person who has been able to successfully work with my son during homeschooling and beyond. My son has a lot of anxiety around school and Jake manages beyond anything i could have imagined. He has been supporting us for 2 years and never any issues. He is communicative, responsive, responsible...Jake is extremely organized and can help in many subjects. I could not recommend him more highly!
