Hey guys, I'm a fun, outgoing, friendly single mother of one amazing 12-year-old daughter who is intelligent, beautiful, and has the biggest heart I've ever witnessed. Not only do I have an Associates degree of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education, but I also have a Bachelor's degree of Science in Psychology, which makes me more than qualified to babysit and teach children who have special needs as well. In fact I was working with a baby girl who had been diagnosed with Autism once she had turned 18 months. At the point of diagnosis, I had already been working with her for about 6 months, and was the one who brought up the fact that the baby hadn't seemed to hit usual milestones that other babies already had seemed to tackle on our daily play dates. She didn't try and walk or talk like the other babies who had many months ago... This is when I made it my mission to work with her team of speech and physical therapists so we could all come together to further her progress!!
