I have always had a lot of love in my heart for children. Being the oldest of 5, I have always been a caretaker and nurturing person. When I took care of a special needs boy in middle school, after school, it started then for special needs children. I also have taken care of my parents and had my grandparents in my home until they passed on, so I have a lot of compassion for the elderly as well. I have 2 grown children and one that is 14 years old. I have been married one time but now divorced so this is how I got started taking care of children. I have always been room mom and grade rep for all my children. I always felt a need and it made me happy as a mother to be able to do these things for my children. God has always made sure that I have had children around me my entire life and it is a joy. I have a lot of patience. So if you would like to know more I will kindly share my experiences.

    Tonja is an exceptional caregiver who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. I have a special needs son and Tonja has been a lifesaver for our family. Her patience and compassion are unmatched and she always puts my son's needs first. Tonja has a unique ability to understand and connect with my son, making him feel safe and loved. I highly recommend Tonja to anyone in need of a caring, responsible, and attentive caregiver for their loved ones. She deserves all the stars in the sky and more! Thank you Tonja for all that you do.
