I love kids especially, special needs kids. (I have an adult child in away. He just turned 19) I can go through an IEP or 504 plan. I know that I can engage him, siblings and, friends into energizing engagements which I think is crucial for both. I believe that I am good at engaging siblings and others to work together wherever they both benefit. I had started babysitting 3 kids in middle school. I have gone a lot of directions since then. I started Thomas Nelson for childcare then realized the pay was not that great (meaning right over minimum wage which I would have to pay back school loans at that pay.) I have since got a bachelor’s degree in Biblical and Educational studies from Liberty University. (Note: I will not impose any of beliefs on your children unless you ask me) I have worked with children, and Read more I am more about helping them learn and interacting with others. My setting has mainly been in churches for eight years. I have a background check through Castle Branch which is approved through the school systems. I have taught children and siblings to understand each other ways and to teach each other differences with open hearts.
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.
