Jolene G. 80916 * I know it is a long profile Hi, I am Jolene. I have recently moved back to Colorado Springs where I lived before AmeriCorps. I am CPR and First aid certified and I have worked with children with special needs including Down syndrome, autism, Asperger's, diabetic and gluten free diet restrictions as well as those with ADHD and learning disabilities. I have worked for licensed facilities including a Montessori day care and a drop-in hourly/full day facility in Austin, TX, and as an after school counselor at Christ the King School in Burlington, Vermont. I also cared for infant triplets and their 3-year-old brother as a private care nanny as well as a babysitter for several different Austin families. I was also in AmeriCorps National Civilian Conservation Corps-Southern Region, where I volunteered with Save the Children during Hurricane Sandy and in AmeriCorps Texas Conservation Corps where Read more I helped run a family disaster shelter. I currently care for my neighbors 3-year-old on Thursdays. If you would like to schedule a visit or a meet I would be more than willing to!
