Hello! My name is Colleen. I have worked as teacher for 5 and a half years. I have been a babysitter for over 10 years. I also have experience with children with special needs. I am currently working as an elementary special education teacher. I also have previously volunteered as an assistant coach with the Special Olympics. I love doing arts and crafts with kids and I have a passion for the arts. I am not fluent in Spanish but I speak and understand it fairly well. In addition to working with kids, I also have experience with the elderly, having previously worked in a retirement center. Above all, I am a very friendly and upbeat person that loves working with people. Note: I am currently only available for part time work outside of school hours and summer work
