In this capacity, I was responsible for driving to and accompanying the children to activities, appointments and outings, organizing play dates, homework assistance, meal planning, cooking, food shopping, errands, light housekeeping, children’s laundry and pet care. In addition, I taught second grade, I volunteered for eleven years teaching CCD, I have over ten years of experience caring for and teaching children and teens on the Autism Spectrum (ASD). I tutored students from preschool through college and I have a Bachelor of Science degree, Suffolk University, double major in Communications and English. I am extremely responsible, kind, caring, positive, patient, energetic, multitasker, super organized and proactive. As a dedicated professional, I understand the importance of reliability, and it has always been my motto that Read more "I am the back-up" and calling in is not a luxury or an option. I can offer you a long-term, flexible schedule that includes evenings, overnights, weekends and travel. I have knowledge of CPR and First Aid, Covid vaccinated, United States citizen, non-smoker and an excellent driving record/own car. I appreciate the time you took to read about my experience and I’m available to start ASAP. I look forward to speaking with you to further discuss the position and I would be happy to furnish you excellent references upon request. I can be reached via cell @ (781) 710-1083. Thank you!
