7 years ago my cousin was born with cerebral palsy, my aunt and uncle were in a very tough position and ended up living with us for over a year. During this time period I was able to see how hard it was on my aunt and uncle, and I was able to experience how rewarding it was to be able to help them and to be able to help Sebastian reach his goals. I went on to be a paraprofessional with the Special Ed department at Connor Academy, loving being able to work with children with Down Syndrome, Autism, Mental Impairments, and Behavioral Problems. I can also read and teach Unified English Braille. I follow a "Love and Logic" philosophy, and absolutely love being able to show children the value responsibility and more importantly, kindness. I am very active and love to get kids moving, keep things exciting, and have them grow, learn, and play in a safe environment. Helping others is the most valuable thing in my life, I am passionate about helping children grow as individuals and helping parents grow in their relationship with their children, in whatever form that may be.
