I have experience as a Registered Behavioral Therapist for children with autism and special needs (ages 3-13) I currently work with children with autism and special needs in Chicago Public Schools (ages 5-8) I also currently nanny/babysit children and young adults with special needs on holiday/seasonal breaks (ages 7-21) I have years of experience and training :) I have so much love, care, and knowledge to share. I am more than comfortable with potty training, administering medicines, and assisted feeding. I am CPR, Safety Care, and first-aid certified. I know that some children hit, bite, elope etc - and am more than capable of keeping them safe through everything.
