Hello My name is DeShawn Mitchell. I recently moved to NY after I finished my MFA from University of Irvine California. I currently make most of my money as a personal trainer and as a working actor. I'm looking for a part time job that is fulfilling and enjoyable. My mother is a special education teacher, so growing up I was lucky enough to spend allot of time with children with and without mental and physical Needs. I started working with disabled children on my own when I was in high school through a program with my school. From then on I started babysitting my 4 nieces and nephews on a regular basis. As well as watching after children of friends of my family. Before my three years of graduate school I worked as a part time baby sitter while in college. I stopped to advance my education in acting.
