I am a full-time student at DMACC, focusing in biology. However, I do have a very flexible schedule. I am licensed as a CPhT (Certified Pharmacy Technician). I have experience caring for children with food allergies and other health needs. I have three younger siblings with autism, one of which is low functioning and the other two, twins, are 5 years of age but still too young to assume the severity. I grew up around children of all ages with special needs. My eldest sister, 6 years older than I, has three children, the first born around the time I was 11 years of age. The youngest, my niece, has required nebulizer treatments ever since she was 6 months old. I cared for all three children for extended periods of time while my sister was at work. My mother sought a career in respite care, which included overnight stays at Read more our home, some requiring prescribed medication at specific times throughout the day and physical assistance. She now has her MS in paraprofessional special education. I have experience caring for children as young as 1 month old, as well as looking after pets, plants, and running errands for a family. I will adhere to a background check and drug screening if desired. Please contact me with any additional questions.
Trust & safety
We encourage parents to conduct their own screenings using the background check tools. See what each of the badges covered, or learn more about keeping your family safe by visiting the Trust & Safety Center.
