Helping others is something that comes natural to me and something that I actually enjoy doing. I don't want to sound like an old cliche' but I do enjoy children of all ages and I enjoy helping the elderly. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I also can give swimming lessons, cheerleading lessons, tumbling lessons, and much more. I can help at all hours over nights as well. I have worked with children and elderly with all different types of disorders. I also have a son that is two years old. He spends split time with his father as well as me.

Her son Sam was in my three year old class. Sam was eventually diagnosed with as-burgers autism. I worked with him one on one in and out of school. I would watch his sister (then two), as well. I watched them in and out of school. They are both now registered in school and I still keep very close contact with the whole family.      Sarah Searle  I met Sarah as well at Grace Lutheran. She had a son named Parker who then was three years old like Sam. Both of them were in the same class. I became close with his mother and started watching him outside of school as well. I still have a close relationship with him and his mother.
