Hi! My past experience in childcare encompasses working as a special recreational leader for Chicago Park District. In this position, I was responsible for the safety and nurturing of children. teens, young adults and adults with disabilities. I was also responsible for implementing behavior modifications and fun indoor and outdoor activities. Honestly, I loved the job and working hands-on with campers. Additionally, I have years of personal experience of babysitting younger relatives, especially my younger brother who has autism. I have played an instrumental role in his development along with my parents. I also have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and I am currently earning a degree in Communication Disorders, both have required that I learn childhood development for all children. I am extremely patient, warm and friendly, but I also believe that children benefit from some structure.
