Loads of experience with higher needs and differently abled children. I have had a criminal background check in Vermont and Washington (happy to do one in Portland as well). I am certified in First Aid/CPR and have an extensive resume and excellent references. I am energetic and artsy with a passion for exploring science and nature with children.
