I have worked with all different kinds of children! I’ve also cared for people of all different ages ranging from young kids to adults! I worked as a para educator in a special needs classroom for two years at an elementary school. I have also cared for a baby/toddler with Down syndrome. I've worked with people with all kinds of different needs, such as autism, down syndrome, visually impaired, blind, cerebral palsy, extreme sensory and cognitive learning disabilities due to serious brain issues, ADD/ADHD etc. At the elementary I worked with grades 3-6 majority of my time but also spent time working in grades 1-2 as well. When working with the life skills students I would take them to mainstream with the other kids in their grades as well, so I got to work with over 100 wonderful kids! I have been a nanny for a 6-7 year old with Read more extreme behavioral issues for one year before moving to Los Angeles. I’ve now worked as a Special Needs/Behavioral Needs tutor/caretaker for a 7-11 year old child for nearly four years. love working with kids and am passionate about encouraging them to be creative and helping them grow! I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified.
