Hello! My name is Brittany, and I am an experienced and dedicated childcare provider with a passion for working with children. I have over 15 years of babysitting experience, and during that time, I have had the pleasure of caring for children of various ages, backgrounds, and needs. One of the areas where I have specialized expertise is in supporting children with autism. I have undergone extensive training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and hold a certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This training has equipped me with valuable skills and strategies to effectively engage and support children with autism, promoting their development, independence, and overall well-being. Throughout my babysitting career, I have had the opportunity to work with families who have children with autism, and I have found immense joy in helping these children thrive. I understand the unique challenges and needs that may arise when caring Read more for children with autism, and I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment for them to learn and grow. In addition to my expertise in autism, I have also worked as a professional nanny for two years. This experience has further enhanced my skills in child care, as I have had the opportunity to build strong relationships with families and provide consistent care and support to their children. As a nanny, I have taken on various responsibilities, including engaging in age-appropriate activities, facilitating educational development, and ensuring the overall well-being of the children under my care. In summary, with over 15 years of babysitting experience, a BCBA certification, and specialized knowledge in autism, I bring a wealth of skills, knowledge, and dedication to the field of childcare. I am passionate about creating a positive and nurturing environment for children to thrive, and I look forward to continuing my journey of supporting and enriching the lives of the children I have the privilege of caring for.
