I was born with Spina Bifida which is a neural tube defect and left me paralyzed from the knee down. However, I can walk with the help of braces on each leg and I get around quite well. Having a disability myself is what created my passion for helping others going through exactly what I went through. I got a Bachelor's degree in Therapeutic Recreation from the University of Tennessee and worked as a Personal Assistant for a young girl with a severe disability for over a year. I have experience working at camps for kids with multiple disabilities and I love planning activities, making adjustments for any ability level, both physical and intellectual.

Jan is a total loving, caring and fun sweetheart. My son would ask for her on days she wasn't working with us. She took a chance on working with my son who is on the autism spectrum and has behavioral issues and needs help with the bathroom. Even when it got tough she didn't give up and kept asking me to help her help my son. I love that in a caregiver because most I've hired in the past didn't really invest in my son. It's really hard to find good sitters, let alone GREAT ones like, Jan. Hire her. You won't be sorry :D
