I am passionate about working with children because of the joy they bring and the opportunity to positively impact their development. As a mother of two daughters, now aged 15 and 19, I have firsthand experience in child care and upbringing. I have also worked for a babysitting agency, providing professional services to multiple families. My experience as a Special Education Specialist has equipped me with valuable skills to work effectively with diverse families. Additionally, I have a background as a Learning and Development Specialist. My diverse experience in child care, special education, and training development allows me to bring a unique blend of hands-on experience, empathy, and professional expertise to my work with children and families.
