I have been a teacher for 10 years in the public system. I have children of my own also. I majored in Elementary and Early Childhood Special Education. I also have a Master's in Special Education K to 12. I enjoy working and taking care of children with special needs. They are the light of the world in my eyes. I have been working with the elderly taking care of them. I really enjoy this also. They are full of wonderful knowledge, and I enjoy listening and sharing with them. I started out in Nursing for the first 3 years of my undergrad and changed to education to work special needs children. I have a lot of knowledge in taking care of people whether they are young or old. It is a very fulfilling profession.

    I am a First Sergeant in the USAF and Kathy was my rock over the course of a year with my teenage (13) autistic boys. I wish I would of found her so much sooner than I did! We are leaving the area for another military installation and wish we could take her with us. Kathy is a wonderful, kind lady who would do anything for me and the boys and I feel like she's family. It's so hard to find "that" person you trust and I highly recommend her, especially for our military families because she's trustworthy, flexible, and crazy dependable... a MUST for our crazy lifestyles.
