With over 20 years of dedicated experience, I am a compassionate and skilled special needs caregiver known for providing personalized, attentive, and holistic support to individuals with physical, developmental, and cognitive challenges. Throughout my career I have worked with children, teens, and adults, tailoring care to promote independence, dignity, and quality of life. I also love to give full time caregivers a break so that they can go out and enjoy some free time while being assured that their loved one is in good and compassionate hands. I started caring for people with special needs in 1993 as a special education teacher I have also been a therapeutic foster parent for two gentlemen with autism and seizure disorders. In my spare time, I like to coupon, read and listen to music
