I am mom to 5 adults and grandma to 9 grandchildren. My professional experience in personal care includes childcare, academic support, life coaching, and respite for children with special needs as well as adults and seniors with varied needs. I have specifically supported children and adults with Autism (verbal and non-verbal), blindness, immobility, cerebral palsy, and J Tube feeding and care. I have also cared for several children in my home, and even home-schooled 2 children with ASD. I have a huge heart for people in general and love to invest myself in the lives of others. I also love to cook and provide healthy meals!
