About Joel

I am a fun loving happy singing yogi with tons of experience with child care both special needs children (from severe autism to minor behavioral challenges) and children without special needs. I went to school for child psychology but was unable to finish due to the intensity of the program and my heart couldn't handle what I was hearing so I decided to be nanny 911 instead. I had a family of 3 children ages starting at 6 weeks old, 2 years old and 4 years old and I worked with them full time. I have also worked full time with a brand new infant until about 5 years old. Throughout my life I also cared for children with severe autism overnights for 2 weeks at a time while family was on vacation. Due to the child's severe autism travel caused him severe anxiety so I stayed with him. I cared for him and their children on and off for 7 years. My last child that I cared for was last year he was 8 when I started and 10 when I stopped helping care for him and he was slightly autistic.
