Right now I am a student at Northeastern Illinois University studying Special Education. I have been babysitting since high school. Previous babysitting experiences includes middle school children, toddlers, children in elementary school, and children with special needs including individuals with autism. I also worked as a teacher's assistant in a preschool for a year. I am comfortable with babysitting multiple children and have experience doing so as well. I can provide evaluations of my experience with individuals with special needs. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to always have good experiences with my babysitters so I make sure to be a good babysitter to both the parent's and children. I love the outdoors, so when weather is permitting I am okay with outdoor adventures to the pool or whatever desired location one may have. If the weather does not permit, I love arts & crafts and bringing out the creative Read more side in everyone.
