My career working with children started when I was a kid myself- babysitting at the age of 11. I enjoyed babysitting during high school and college so much that it led me to my career of working with children. I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with a masters in Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis. After working in schools for the last decade, I've taken a step back to work part-time assisting with neuropsychological assessments. This has given me more availability to babysit and pet sit again!
