I am a special educator with a Masters degree. I have 5 children of my own, old enough where I can and need to work longer hours! I have worked with a variety of children including regular education students as well as children with Autism, ED, LD, CP, Down's Syndrome, etc. I have also had my own home-day care for approximately 6 years. I have volunteered in my hometown's challenger baseball league for the last 5 years and gain much satisfaction in doing so! My passion has always been for bettering the lives of children, especially those that face more challenges.
