I grew up overseas all over the place and firmly believe that new experiences every day and constant engagement is the way to a happy childhood. I currently live in Ashburn VA and am going back to school full time at Marymount university to complete prerequisites for pursuing a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. For the last 5 years I have been working with a family in Northern VA with 4 children, all with a variety of individual challenges, and 3 dogs. Before that I cared for three 15-month to 2+ year old triplets, one of whom had special needs. I cared for a variety of other children over the years ranging from ages 2 weeks to 16 years. In the past, I have worked as an EMT and most of my free time is spent obstacle course racing, reading, or exploring new ideas and places. I am CPR, first aid, Read more and pet CPR/first aid certified. I speak Spanish fairly well and am learning Chinese and Braille. I am currently available Wednesday (anytime), Thurs/Fri after 4pm, and select weekends.
