I am a college graduate with a special interest in special needs care. I'm highly influenced from a family member I cared for and took a strong interest in learning more, such as structural influences to one and being able to have a complete understanding of one another. I am highly energetic and well organized and take my job seriously and offer my best performance. I am a hands out learner and hope to share that with whoever I am so ever lucky to work for. I was an athlete for 18 years. I believe athletics is a huge advantage in interaction with people. I studied two years of occupational therapy and loved every second of it. I do find joys in children and I love being able to be a part of their journey and reaching their fullest potential in life and meeting all goals. I do have my own transportation, a four door 2013 Jetta. spacious, clean and reliable to travel around. I am able to offer hands on creative learning and help along with household duties and any assistance groceries or cooking. I look forward to meeting many great family's and children to see if we are the perfect fit.
