About Aimee

Aimee Kaufman grew up in West Orange, NJ and met her husband, Barry, at Ithaca College. Aimee went on to earn an MBA in accounting from Fairleigh Dickinson University and is a CPA with her own business, Priority Accounting Solutions LLC. Aimee and Barry now live in Berkeley Heights, NJ where they raised their two daughters, Dana and Sam. Aimee has been very active in her town and was the president of the Berkeley Heights Education Foundation and a longtime member of the PTA. 

Although Aimee loves numbers, she decided to write a memoir about raising her daughter Sam who has ADHD. To keep herself grounded during the early turbulent years, she practiced yoga, meditation, took spin classes and continued to work part time. Today, her daughters are married and live in Jersey City, NJ where Aimee and Barry visit them, and their husbands, and Dana’s son, their grandson, Jordan, often. 

Aimee’s struggle to deal with the often-challenging effects of her daughter’s ADHD became a journey of compassion, seeking out the proper medical help, researching and learning to navigate the educational system’s programs. Her sincere hope is that her book, No One Else I’d Rather Be will help other families struggling to love and care for their children with disabilities.
