Summary

Dependable professional that has worked in the developmental services since being a teenager. Beyond babysitting my younger sibling, my first job was working as a Head Counsellor at the local YMCA, where I supervised & cared for children aged one through ten. Once graduating from college, I began my professional career working with developmentally challenged individuals & have continued to do so for nearly 30 years. I make every effort to provide my services to whom requires them with full commitment & a caring intent.
