Hello! I just graduated with my Masters in Special Education in December and am a certified SpEd teacher. I am currently applying everywhere for jobs && working as a substitute teacher. I am looking for summer work. I have been working with children for the past 10 years. I worked for AmeriCorps as a daycamp counselor in low income areas for two summers, which inspired me to pursue teaching. I worked for Belleville Area Special Services Cooperation at a summer school for children with special needs for about 5 summers. I have also worked at a daycare as the Twos & Toddlers teacher for 4 years. I love getting to know children and working with them! I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I am also CPR certified.
