I also have had the opportunity of working with children as well as teenagers and young adults who have ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, multiple sclerosis, speech impediment and epilepsy. I love exploring new parks and still very much enjoy swinging on the swings. I specially love preparing meals for "my kids" and have so much fun pairing foods together for their meals. I like variety therefor I provide variety in our days, schedules & meals etc. I was 12 years old when I started tagging along with my mom to babysitting/tutoring jobs. I have 6+ years working Read more with both kids & young adults with special needs, ADD, ADHD, Epilepsy, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, MS, Speech Impediment. I am currently a part time college student and loving it. My favorite classes are English, Psychology & Education (ECE), I am fortunate to have such incredible, brilliant, well experienced teachers. I have my own car, as well as car insurance and valid drivers license. A clean driving record. I'm very punctual, early is considered on time in my book. I love to teach others as much as I can, I am very open minded and down to earth. I am very creative and spontaneous. I enjoy reading to kids but I specially enjoy having them read to me ;) I love arts & crafts, acting out skits, singing & dancing. I love the outdoors and will play any and every sport or at least attempt to :) and I love every kind of animal out there. I have two tiny ones of my own.
