I have 20 years of childcare experience. I started babysitting at 13 years old for families in my neighborhood & had a my first official job in the community at Safety Town Camp at age 15. In high school I also worked for the Sports Club of Novi as a gymnastics coach for preschool classes, at SCAMP Camp (a 4 week camp that seeks to provide an exciting and therapeutic summer program for individuals with disabilities ages 3-26 in the Metro Detroit area), and at Chuck E. Cheese and Pump It Up (Inflatable party zone) as a Birthday Party Hostess. In college, I studied bilingual education at the University of Texas and got my bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education grades EC-6 with bilingual certification. I went on to get my masters degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Arizona State University and have a certificate of clinical competence in Read more the field of Speech Language Pathology with bilingual certification and have worked extensively with school-aged children in that facet. I nannied for families throughout undergraduate and graduate school and am still doing part time nannying jobs today. During graduate school I also worked for an attendant/respite care company providing services to special needs children and their families.
