Hello, I am a 22 y/o, I am fully certified RBT (Behavioral therapist) for autistic clients. I have 8 years of experience. I'm very professional and will provide exceptional care for your children. I have extensive experience looking after children of all ages, having worked in day care, as an au pair, a nanny and looking after newborns. I will ensure that your children are in safe hands, while providing a fun and stimulating environment. I am happy and confident looking after young children with medical conditions such as, diabetes, epilepsy, autism, intellectual disabilities and other special needs. I also am big on sleep schedule. Going through with the sleep schedule or even helping all children of all ages with a sleep schedule. I really enjoy seeing children in both an educational and non-educational setting. I really enjoy life and being goofy is one of my favorite things to do Read more with children. I like to play, use creative play, use our imaginations, be active, read, and have fun with children. I also really enjoy challenging kids and adding in educational aspects to play, asking children why and how, and taking their knowledge and understanding one step further. I think every child has such great potential and I thoroughly enjoy getting to know every child as individuals and have their needs met. I am first aid, and CPR trained. In addition I also have life guard experience, and was trained on how to teach children swim. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to chat further. Thanks!
