I have had several opportunities to work with children with special needs. I have been a special needs program support person offering home pick up and transfer to school. I have experience working in a play therapy classroom setting, offering one-on-one support. Most recently, in my position as an assistant kindergarten teacher. I have helped individual children to be assessed and receive tailored support. I have also studied nutrition and learned a supportive diet protocol to support children with autism and other special needs. In offering essential building blocks of nutrition, children benefit in growth and development.

    Kathy has been taking care of my two children for the past year and a half. She has been an incredible help to our family, always reliable and going above and beyond to take care of all of us. She is gentle, patient, caring and insightful. She is a wonderful guide for my children and a mentor for me as a parent. Her training and focus on nutrition has helped our family immensely, especially through some difficult health issues. I highly recommend Kathy for any position.
