I am a newly retired special education teacher's aide and paraprofessional. My most recent position was with the Wellesley High School Special Education Department, where I was employed for 5 years. Previously, I worked with elementary special needs students at Carlisle Public Schools for 12 years. I have worked with students having a variety of needs, including physical and emotional as well as academic. I so enjoyed working with my students. Every day was different and I constantly learned from this very special and unique group of children and young adults. I have raised 4 of my own children, the youngest of whom graduated from college in 2019. I also have 5 precious grandchildren, two of whom were born this year amidst the pandemic crisis. I am interested in continuing my work with students on a part time basis. I am able to provide services 2-3 consecutive weekdays and can be flexible about what the days are as long as they are consecutive.

Joanie is worth her weight in gold! I work with Joanie in a public school setting. In addition to teaching a special needs student, I have depended on Joanie for organizational assistance, consultation and general classroom support. She has a wealth of information of what kids need from her teaching and her own parenting experiences. When supporting students, her genuine kindness is clear and well balanced with high expectations. Her patience plays a critical role in her comfort supporting special needs. Her work ethics are exceptional. Do not hesitate to call her!
