I am a 2011 College Graduate with a B.A in History. I have several years experience in childcare for a wide range of ages. I enjoy interacting with children at a creative level incorporating arts and crafts, storytelling, and outdoor activites. I have a personal backgound both academically, and professionally working in the musem/library field so I love taking children to museums, and reading stories to them. I also have experience working as a respite care provider for children with various special needs. My experience included: Autism, Severe Allergies, Asthma, Seizure Disorder, ADHD, lead poisoning, terets. References Available upon Request. :)
