I love working with children, and building long lasting relationships with the families I work for. I believe that it is paramount to create an individualized, successful situation for each child I work with, to help them reach their full potential based on their unique needs. I feel that I have done this with each of the families I have worked with. I have over 20 years of experience working with children. I have worked with multiples, a variety of special needs, and children of all ages. I have a degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood. I am also a behavior therapist, qualified mental health professional and night nanny. My education and experience has taught me how to create a healthy loving relationship with each child I care for, while making life easier for the parents!
