I am a caring and enthusiastic individual who absolutely loves working with children and helping others! Due to my education and professional experiences, I've gained valuable knowledge and skills to help me be the right care taker for your loved ones! I'm no "sitting duck" during my duties, as I love implementing developmentally appropriate activities and staying active when caring for individuals. Currently, I am finishing my M.S. in Early Childhood Special Education. I received my B.A. in Communication Sciences Disorders and have worked with kids who have speech, language, and hearing disorders. During my free time, I spend time with my boyfriend and two furry kids (e.g., my loving dogs) and enjoy cooking and singing! We love the outdoors and love to eat new cuisine. I am also a frequent volunteer guest singer at the Filipino American Friendship Society. Experiences with children include: 3.5 years of working as a Read more preschool teacher and over a year of providing ABA therapy to children with autism. Over 10+ years of babysitting experience. Experiences with adults include: Local chapter president of an organization that advocates for adults with both intellectual and physical disabilities. Social skills were facilitated to help individuals gain job opportunities and friendships. I held monthly meetings to raise inclusion in the community. I've also worked one-on-one administering therapy to adults with developmental, acquired, and neurological disabilities where I created functional therapy goals to carry out.
