Licensed social worker, MSW graduate with lots of work experience and life-experience with special needs children, adolescents, and adults. I have a 20-year-old sister with autism spectrum disorder, and currently work as a school social worker for children with disabilities! I know what it means to put your special child in the hands of another and have to trust them, which is why I take the utmost care in providing respite care for the special needs population. I am available for occasional sitting, date nights, and some weeknights. I also teach social skills and coping skills to children.
