You Aren't Alone

Growing up in a family, where multiple people have Autism Spectrum Disorder, I know how much of a toll it can take when you do not have the help you need. I'm here to help any way I can, with abundant patience and love for all of God's children.
I started babysitting when I was 13 years old when a new family moved in next door with their 2 young daughters (9mo and 1yr). I babysat them until the family moved away four years later. After that, I was a full time nanny for a family with 3 amazing children (4, 8 & 12) for about a year where I was able to get some experience...
