For the past 10+ years I have been working with children at all levels/ages with very diverse abilities. I have an associates degree in early childhood education, a bachelors in elementary education and a masters degree in moderate disabilities grades 5-12. Working with children has always been my passion. I feel as though I am able to quickly bond with the children I work with to gain there trust. Over the years I have seen first hand the strides that my students have made which is the best gratification I could ever ask for. I am a life long learner and am dedicated to providing the highest quality care. Working with children is my life's work and would never want to do anything else. On a more personal note, I am very proud and fortunate to say that I come from a large family with lots of kids who I love dearly. Since I was 12 years old I was the babysitter in my neighborhood taking on as much as 4 small children at a time. My family and I are all really close and keep in touch regularly. My Mother has always been our rock and has instilled great values such as respect, responsibility, honesty, dedication, hard working and unconditional love.
