I love kids especially, special needs kids. (I have an adult child in away. He just turned 19) I can go through an IEP or 504 plan. I know that I can engage him, siblings and, friends into energizing engagements which I think is crucial for both. I believe that I am good at engaging siblings and others to work together wherever they both benefit. I had started babysitting 3 kids in middle school. I have gone a lot of directions since then. I started Thomas Nelson for childcare then realized the pay was not that great (meaning right over minimum wage which I would have to pay back school loans at that pay.) I have since got a bachelor’s degree in Biblical and Educational studies from Liberty University. (Note: I will not impose any of beliefs on your children unless you ask me) I have worked with children, and Read more I am more about helping them learn and interacting with others. My setting has mainly been in churches for eight years. I have a background check through Castle Branch which is approved through the school systems. I have taught children and siblings to understand each other ways and to teach each other differences with open hearts.
Trust & safety
