Currently, I am a full-time teachers assistant in a Level 3 Autism (Special Education) Elementary classroom. For the past five years, I have worked as a Camp Coordinator at True Friends Can in Minnesota. True Friends is a camp/ respite program for children and adults with both mild to severe mental and physical handicaps. Before that, I worked as a Nanny for three school aged children for 5 summers as well as babysitting for 4 school aged children for 3 years prior. I have had countless "odd-ball" babysitting jobs throughout my High School and College career. Some of these "odd-ball" babysitting jobs consist of sitting 2 young children ages 8 months and 2 years, sitting 2 young girls for a year ages 11 months and 4 years, and sitting two young boys for a year ages one and three years old. I am certified in American Red Cross First Aid Read more and CPR and am very experienced in speaking American Sign Language and Spanish.
