Leesburg Special Needs Care

I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2016 with a degree in Psychology, and am a current graduate student in Shenandoah University's Physician Assistant and Master of Public Health programs . In high school I was very involved in our schools special education program, working in a classroom setting with other high school aged students. Also during my high school years, I volunteered with Best Buddies and Camp AIM, a summer camp for those with disabilities ages 5-21. Once in college, I volunteered with the special olympics program, Autism Speaks, and the Children's Institute, as well as with two twin 8-year-olds with Autism through a respite program. I have been previously employed at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, where I worked on a floor for children, teens, and adults with mental illness along with a developmental disorder and/or diagnosis of Autism.

I have MUCH experience with individuals with various special needs. I am PRN overnights on occasion contracting with the government for woman whom have been warded to the state and found to have severe psychological diagnoses. It gives great satisfaction to encourage them to lead productive/social lives(safely) promoting a higher quality of life. I have done social work/job coaching evaluating behavior and productivity. I have schooling as a nurse allowing me to administer medications as well as transfer if need be. I am very familiar with most all aspects/diagnoses mentally and physically and strongly believe that people do not care about how much you know until they know how much you care. I feel this population are a joy to work with and truly bring out the best in me. I use to think that they were just learning from me.. but as the years have passed I have become more experienced I know now that I too am learning from them.

Since being trained as a registered nurse, raising 3 children, and being employed in various settings, I've realized I gain much satisfaction in helping individuals mature in their abilities and education, overcome obstacles and be the best they can be. In any endeavor I also greatly enjoy the realm of design and creativity, organization, and teaching. My experience over the years has been: raising 3 children as a stay-at-home mom (implementing daily tutoring with challenges of: developmental delays, ADHD, speech and reading delay and memory retention issues), an art tutor, an in-home RN, and as a hospital RN (assistant head nurse on a 40-bed skilled nursing facility). I've been an advocate for my children on many levels throughout their years in school, collaborating with teachers, principals and health care professionals. As a consistent tutor and overseer of my children's educational concerns, organization, preparedness and behavior, teaching became a way of life. Consistency, positive reinforcements, physical activities for breaks, and humor were essential and uplifting. With nurturing and persistence, achievements and great blessings resulted. Enjoyable hobbies include piano, design, art, and organization.

I owned my own nursery for 2 years. I have worked as baby nurse for over 40 families. I have practical nurse training and training in area of breast feeding and sleep training. I have cared for special needs children and terminally ill children. For the past 4 years, I have worked as a nanny with a child since he was born.
