Currently, I'm a teacher in a private school for children with mental illness, but spent 8 years as a teacher for children with special needs. I've just finished my Master's Degree in Special Education with a Certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorders. I've been a child caregiver for over 12 years, including staying overnight with families for extended periods of time and going on vacations with families. I've had experience with children with diverse needs, have administered medication and driven children to various appointments and events. I'm looking for a little extra income to pay off some student loans.
