I am a registered behavior technician. So the last year and a half I had been working in the clinic and in the home running one on one sessions with children of varying ages from 2 to eighteen years old. I have also worked in a Montessori school setting for 3 years with infants, tofdlers, preschool and kindergarteners, as well as working in a day care setting and volunteering for classroom aide positions in kindergarten classes as well as a Counselor at a summer camp program put on by Santa Cruz County social services agency. I have 12 ECE units and I am currently going to school for my bachelors in psychology where I am mastering in Aba and child psychology. I love children and I actually have 4 of my own ranging from ages 17 to 1 years old, So I am definitely very adept at. Taking care of Read more children, as well as babies. I'm a professional diaper changer and in tune with babies and their needs at all times. I have always wanted to work with children and have done a lot of work with children in the past. This is something I am seeking to allow for a little bit more flexibility in my scheduling so that I can continue being a mom and attend school at the same time. Overall, I possess all the skills and qualifications needed to care for any child of any age and even those with learning disabilities or social disabilities. I also am a housekeeper and did that for about 10 years, So I have experience in-house cleaning as well. I have a clean background, but I just paid to have it done. So I did not pay again to do it on this site. I do have the results I can send if you are interested.
