Hi, I am Anika Rahnum, 28 year old part time college student studying Architecture. I started taking care of children since I was 16 which started when I first became an aunt. I looked after 2 kids (1 year old and 6 year old) of my sisters in absence of my sister and her husband when she was on Grad school. And then I was hired by neighbors to look after their children and recommended to others they know. Over the last few years I have experienced working with children in terms of baby sitting and tutoring from age 1 to 10 that includes children with or without special needs ( both High and low functioning). I have worked as paraprofessional, Behavioral technician (ABA) and Teachers Assistant giving services at home and in Pre-school set up for children with Autism and Down syndrome. I consider myself as a very responsible, Read more kind and patient individual who loves children and enjoys working with them. I am energetic, skilled in creative fun, engaging, creative and educational activities while demonstrating a priority for children's safety and well being. I am quite adoptive and flexible and comfortable working with children of any age. I am pet friendly and I have a good driving record.
