Summary
An energetic and compassionate individual who is motivated to help others and has a strong passion for working with children. With over ten years of experience working hands on with individuals who have complex need, from working in a health care setting to working with disabled adults, to being a mother to 3 small children for 9 years. I have gained valuable experience and since having my own child diagnosed with severe ADHD I have a stronger desire to help other children with complexities that are so common today.
