I have worked with a variety of special needs kids in schools, churches, and in their homes. I have a quiet and gentle spirit that enables them to feel accepted, safe and secure. I work alongside the parents to help maintain the achievements they have reached and to guide their child to being the best they can be! The availability charts are not organized in a way to make my open hours clear so please contact me to make sure your needs match my availability! . I prefer 8-4 but can negotiate this. Thanks!!

    Kim worked with my 10 year old twins who are on the autism spectrum. She was with us for a year and a half and unfortunately I had to let her go so we could attend therapy outside of the state. She did a terrific job with both of my kids and continues to do an awesome job with them when I call her for occasional respite. Both my kids can be very challenging at times and Kim always remains calm and respectful. I love the fact that she can be kind and fun, yet firm when the situation calls for it. My daughter is currently non-verbal, yet she speaks to her as if she fully understands her and treats her with the utmost respect. Kim also has a very fun-loving side to her and has no problem with playing board games or a good game of pretend. I also like the fact that when the kids are napping, she will look for things to do in the home like fold socks or wash up the dishes, she is an extremely hard worker. I have also hired Kim to care for our home while we were away on vacation. Kim is also very trustworthy and she leaves are home in an orderly fashion with all of our desired projects completed. Kim would be an awesome pick for your provider needs and I'm happy to accept any calls for recommendations on her, just ask for Renee.
