I am a mother of three school age children. I have a 14-year-old with pervasive developmental disorder, another with Asperger's and I also cared for another infant with Sotos syndrome. My son also has asthma and allergies and had to receive immunotherapy and carry an Epi pen. My daughter also has diabetes and requires daily blood tests as well as a special diet. We have definitely had our share of illness! I have volunteered for hospice, pediatric and senior departments and cared for a terminally ill toddler for over two years. That was probably the most difficult thing I have ever done . But that is also one of the experiences that led me to have the passion for caring for people. I have completed two years of nursing school and due to my son's illness had to reorganize my priorities and put my education on hold for awhile. I have also cared for a dear friend who sustained a spinal cord injury due to a car accident. This friend was paralyzed and required full time care. I offer care in my home only. My children are in home school and I currently care for other children full time.
