I am a Texas certified Special Education Teacher. This summer I will again be in Houston for the month of July. If you are looking to hire someone fun and experienced to take your child(ren) on a educational/ cultural play dates during the week this post may just for you! I am currently taking requests for home and outing play dates. Here’s a little more about my experience: My first experience in Education began in 2009, when I had my first job (out of high school) working at La Fe Preparatory School as a 2nd grade Teachers Aid and Special Education Tutor. It was during this time I was later approached and asked to help in being the teacher/childcare to help start up the new afternoon daycare program that would become available for students completing GED through the AmeriCorp Build program. That summer I would give back to a program Read more I was apart of at UT Arlington called Upward Bound Math & Science, by becoming a Resident Advisor and Duet Acting Coach; serving high school students living on campus for 6 weeks for a summer residential institute aimed at helping students prepare for college. While in college I worked 3 years at a learning center and began providing care for 2 years olds, later with infants before later being requested to move up to pre-K to teach the first group of 2 year olds I had when they moved on to pre-K. Other experiences include working at a children’s home when I lived 24/7 for weeks at a time, caring for a home of 8 young girls then moving up with them to the house of middle/high school children. I would aid in all the driving of a 12 passenger van to take children to school and all medical appointments. I was in charge of any special purchase requests, home schedules such as chores as well as weekend activities. In addition to planning summer and vacation activities for my "cottage home" such as outings, crafts, and movie nights. Additional key experience include caring for disabled elderly, overnight and early morning. In charge of bed time, changing, medication, waking, lifting, showering, clothing, making breakfast and assisting in feeding all four residents who lived in the home. It is my teaching philosophy "children learn through play and practice"; as a child care provider I have learned how to create engaging lesson plans and curriculum age appropriate to a child’s development. I believe in making every experience a learning and memorable one. Thank you for your time and consideration.
