I’ve known that I wanted to work with children-- specifically those with disabilities-- since the 6th grade, when I volunteered to be a teacher’s aide for a summer music class for k-2nd grade. My job was to attend to the disabled students as a substitute for Special Ed. helpers who didn’t work over summer break. It was here that I met Luke, a child with autism. I asked his mom if they needed a babysitter—they did. She wanted me to know, however, that he was one of a set of triplets, all with varying levels of autism and that they had a baby sister. I went for it and was a babysitter for 3 autistic 6-year-old triplets and their 2-year-old sister. I babysat them for several years, and am now prepared for almost any situation!
