I graduated in 2013 from the University of Hartford in Connecticut with my Bachelor's in Elementary and Special Education. I have always had a particular interest in working with special needs individuals. Children are a joy and I have been babysitting and changing diapers since I was 5 years old helping my family with my siblings. I am very athletic and have played 4 years of division 1 basketball here at the University. In May, 2015 I graduated from Gallaudet University in Washington, DC with my Masters in Public Administration. I was also the Assistant Coach for the Women's Basketball team. Sign Language has always been a big part of my life and a second language for me. I am currently a Special Education teacher at Alexander Youth Network here in Charlotte. This is a psychiatric facility for elementary aged school children. During the past 4 years I have spent Read more a lot of time babysitting as a way to earn extra cash on the side during school. Now that I have relocated to Charlotte I am looking for more babysitting opportunities while I am looking for a part-time position with the government or a nonprofit organization. Also offering ASL tutoring. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and references can be provided upon request as well.
