At the age of 16, I took on a part time nanny position for four children under 5 with the oldest having Autism Spectrum Disorder. When I was not watching those children, I was a weekend sitter for an infant that was 3 weeks old when I began. From these experiences, I found my passion for children, specifically with developmental delays. I went on to college and am finishing up my degree in Social Work as I intern at Head Start, a preschool for low income families. I spent some time working in the Toddler Room at a daycare center but would prefer the more personal interaction with children. I really enjoy teaching children while it's integrated into play. I am a Behavior Technician so I teach children with Autism in addition to babysitter. I love to read and be outdoors in addition to cooking! I am CPR and First Read more Aid certified.
