My passion for caring for individuals with special needs began in childhood while spending time with my cousin, who taught me to appreciate the unique gifts and abilities every person possesses. That early experience led to years of volunteer work with children of all ages and abilities and eventually to a career as a Paraeducator after graduating as valedictorian. Over the past 15+ years, I have cared for children and adults with a wide range of physical, developmental, behavioral, and medical needs. My experience includes medication administration, allergy management, and care involving feeding tubes and ostomies. As a homeschooling mother of six, I currently provide part-time care in my home, where each child becomes part of our family and receives the same love and attention I give my own.
