I am a mom of three grown children. I have a bachelors in special education, mild/moderate class categorical disabilities. I work a typical work week Monday through Friday 8 to 5 but weekends and evenings are spent with family, however, my children are getting older, and so I have more free time to spend working, which allows me to save for goals I have for myself down the road. I’ve worked with children since I was 12 years old and have extensive references, many of whom I’ve remained in contact with since meeting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and appreciate the nature of children more and more as I continue meeting and working with families. And I’m glad to help out any capacity. I keep it very professional, but also comfortable, and my reliability is 100%.!
