About Michael

Experience: 10 yrs

I have over 12 years of public school experience in grades K-12. I am general and Special Education certified in CT. I have many years of working in private homes in Fairfield County in many capacities. As a native of Darien, I know the area well and what is expected of its clientele. Being a divorced dad of an awesome 6-year-old, I have learned how to care for children from infants to toddlers. My teacher training and experience has prepared me to care for and interact well with children of all ages. Through laughter, I build and maintain wonderful rapport with all children. I truly enjoy working with children and facilitating their learning in a safe, creative and fun environment. I currently teach high school to at-risk teens in an alternate high school. I've also worked with children with Autism.
