Hello Families! I am a 19-year-old who loves children and available to care for your child(ren) this summer! I have over 10 years of experience with neuro-typical children. I have two younger siblings who I learned to care for at a very young age, and have professional experience working at Child Care Centers as well as Summer Camps and School Age Centers. I love to cook, and have no problem in light housekeeping. I have about 7 years of trained experience caring for special needs children on the spectrum ranging from non-verbal low functioning autism to high-functioning/Asperger's syndrome. I also have trained experience with ADD/ADHD. I have worked in Summer Camps, School Age Centers as well as home settings. I am extremely passionate about special needs children as it brings me joy to see them smile, and more importantly, having a hand in their development. I feel as though there Read more needs to be more awareness about special needs, and by caring for children with special needs, it has changed my life and now I am currently a Health Services: Autism Studies field in college and would love to have a hand in loving and caring for your child(ren); Neurotypical or with Special Needs!
