Hello! (: My name is Aminah, I am a 21 year old college student who loves working with kids! Currently I live on my own with roommates who have a 1 yr old daughter. Prior to this, I lived with a family for 2 and a half years, whom had three adopted daughters (ages 5, 13, and 14 at the time I moved in) who had FASD. Due to their FASD, their development was more around the ages of 10-12 yrs old for the older girls, and the younger had behavioral issues, but not too different from an average 5 yr old. I would watch the girls whenever needed by their parents. I would cook for them, clean, and discipline them if needed. Also, I babysat for a family down the street who had an 8 yr old boy, a 10 yr old girl, and a dog (black lab) for Read more a short time, and can provide their recommendations. I also cooked and cleaned for them. Currently, I work at a day program for adults with developmental disabilities ranging from autism, to scoliosis, to cerebral palsy, and everything in between. Although I recognize this is not the same, I do believe the experience I have working with this demographic has equipped me to be a better care giver in other areas, including with children. I believe the skills I've learned can transfer well into child care.
