After completing her Bachelors's Degree in Psychology from her beloved HBCU The Central State University. After working in various fields, Shaudae continued her educational career at Dallas Baptist University receiving her Masters in Counseling. While attending graduate school, Shaudae started her career in autism serving as an ABA therapist and a specialty autism teacher in the local school district. During this time, Shaudae fell in love with the Autism Community and have developed a deep love for parents. In February of 2017, Shaudae bought and established Selah Respite Care LLC, which is a specialized nanny service for children and adults ages two months to 35. Selah Respite Care employes qualified but loving respite care providers at affordable rates. They pride themselves on indulging love ones in functional play, life skill management, effective behavior management, and a love that reaches far and wide. Shaudae left her job in February of 2018 and went on to be a full-time CEO. Shaudae also serves as a teacher and parent trainer, curriculum writer for the Waterfall Academy in Richardson, Tx and an autism trainer for the local police department. A mom of a beautiful little girl, Shaudae believes that while all parents are gifts from God, parents with children with extra challenges are not only a gift but are indeed the superheroes of the world; taking their cape wherever they go. " There is no other job that anyone or I could create that would fulfill me more than being the CEO of this company. I am honored to serve and humbled by my clients every single day". Shaudae plans to use her degree in counseling by creating a private practice dedicated to parents, siblings, and persons that are affected by special needs.
