I have babysat for 7+ years. Being around kids for me is a joy that I get to experience on a daily basis. From being a gymnastics coach for 3 years of kids between the ages of 2-16 I have noticed the greatness and intelligence they express to others. I am currently 24 years old with a DOE job as a speech therapist. I specialize in children with autism and it is very rewarding. In the past I have worked in an early intervention daycare opening my eyes to children with autism and their special needs. I drive so if allowed by parents, I would be more than happy to bring children to the park, movies or any other activities they want to do. I am a respectful, educated person and I will respect the parents’ needs and direction as well as the children’s.
