My name is Sara, and I have been working with children for 15 years now. My experience primarily comes from working as a preschool autism teacher, and now currently working in home ABA therapy with children ranging from toddlers to 18 years old. I have also babysit my whole life for children of all ages. I have experience working with children with special needs, especially with children with autism. I graduated from George Mason University with my masters in Early Childhood Special Education . I am currently in school pursuing my board certified behavior analysis (BCBA) certification.

Sara was great! We took longer than expected but she was very accommodating. My son loved her and so did the puppies. She was wonderful.

Sara was GREAT!! It was very, very helpful that she understood ADHD and autism (for my oldest child) and she interacted beautifully with my other two children as well. They didn't want her to leave!!!
