I have cared for individuals with special needs that range from mild to severe. I began volunteering to help and care for those with special needs starting in middle school and my passion has only grown deeper with my experience and continued education and knowledge. I am working on completing my state of Michigan teaching certification in Special Education for students with mild-moderate disabilities. This does not limit my education or training to only mild-moderate special needs as I spent a year working for a local ISD where feeding tubes and wheelchairs were the "norm".

    Jessica (Miss. Jessi) was, and is to this day, fantastic. She always went above and beyond for the kids and treated them as her own. She was always very engaged and active with them while also challenging them from their academics to life skills and everything in-between. Overall she has been an irreplaceable addition to the family and will forever be a part of our story.
