I have worked with children throughout much of my adult life. As a young mom I worked in a home child care, where I cared for up to 10 children at once. I have worked with behavioral issues, autism, and other disabilities. I have a passion for children and believe they should have the highest quality of care. I have remained certified in CPR and first aid over the past 10+ years.
