I'm currently a therapist who works with children with special needs. I know it can sometimes be tough to find child care for children who have more needs and I hope that I can help fill that gap for some families. I am looking to supplement my current position with some child care experience. I have 2 children of my own and love to work and play with children. My areas of focus as a parent are creativity, learning new things, healthy eating and being active, reading and having lots of fun.

    Vanessa is an extremely kind, caring, and energetic individual that adores children. She is very creative and always has a neat idea for a craft or activity to help keep kids engaged. Since I have had my son, Vanessa has been my go to person for advice and support because I have seen how wonderful she is at mothering her own daughters. Vanessa is truly a one of a kind, gifted and talented person. I am honored to know her and be her friend. Arianne S.
