Hi, I'm Mike! I've been involved with caregiving/working in public education supporting individuals with special needs since I got out of college in 2012. I started out working as a drop-in care support person supporting two adults in their home (grocery shopping, cooking, going on walks, completing other errands, and mostly having fun!). This evolved into working in education as an instructional aide and next attaining a special education teaching credential from CSU Fullerton. I moved to Santa Cruz after getting a job as a head special education teacher at a middle school in Watsonville. I taught for 3 years (finishing out the 2022 school year) and I pivoted into working for a well-known Ed Tech company called Clever (your child may use the software in their classroom). My contract ended in October 2022 and I am now looking for part-time work as I explore new options. I love working Read more alongside the special needs community and I would love to talk more about if I would be the right fit for working with your family.
