Having been raised by my mother who has devoted her entire career to teaching students with special needs, I have an acute sense of what it means to care for children of all types. I do not shy away from screamers, spitters, criers or hitters. I am an education major at MTSU and I specialize in music. I have been instilled to realize that all children have the ability to love, learn and discover. It is my greatest wish to find what works for each individual child I meet.

    Travis is a hard working, dependable caregiver, who won the love of my son. Our schedules no longer mesh or we would love to keep him. He cared for my autistic and developmentally delayed son full time all summer and did fantastic. He took my son swimming, biking, walking, played Wii, and treated him with such care, concern, and respect. He made sure my son was fed and safe. Travis will make an excellent special ed teacher one day. He is patient, kind, and committed to his job.
