I'm a special education teacher looking for a part-time babysitting or caretaking jobs. I have experience with children ages infant to high school with and without disabilities as well as adults with disabilities. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am CPR and CPI certified. In the past, along with babysitting, I worked at a few different camps for children and adults with various special needs. I also worked at a local daycare during college. My job required me to supervise up to 20 children independently while planning games and activities for them to engage with.
