Hello my name is Lakeisha S. and I have a degree in Kinesiology from Fresno state (Alumni 2006). My intentions were to pursue a career in the sports field (considering I was a track athlete from childhood-18 yrs.) but when I graduated, there was a change of heart. I have most of my experiences as a mother first, to my beautiful 16 yr. old daughter, as well as my expertise serving Special Needs population of 15 yrs. I resigned in 2019, from Hayward Unified after 11yrs. as a Paraeducator Specialist SH (Severely handicap) working with preschoolers, elementary, emotionally disturbed teens, & adult students, with various disabilities: Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, Visually impaired, etc., also with several private clients. I am currently working at an Adult Residential Facility (ARF) pursuing to operate my own home in the near future. I have grown a true passion & so proud that I desire it. So I'm here to help make a difference (part-time) & look forward to meeting your family.
