Stacey began working in this field as a Respite Care Provider in 1998. Over a six year period, she provided respite to over 75 clients with a wide variety of developmental disabilities, including Autism, Intellectual Disability, Down Syndrome, Epilepsy, and Cerebral Palsy. She learned about the Arc-Solano in 2004 when she became a staff member for Bay Respite Care, which shared a building with the Arc-Solano until 2012. During that time, Stacey developed and managed a respite program that provided services in five counties to over 800 families. She also oversaw the CPR and First Aid training program and ongoing in-service trainings to over 500 Respite Care Providers.
Stacey first joined the Arc-Solano as a Board Member in 2013.
