Student looking to gain more experience with Autistic children!
| I love working with children of all kinds, and have experience working with kids with special needs! My own brother is low-functioning non-verbal autistic, and as anyone who lives someone who is special needs will tell you, it changes you as a person. Because of this I have become extremely patient and tolerant. Having lived with my brother for 10 years, I consider this informal experience. I also work at as an emergency EA at a special education school, and see and work with kids with autism and other developmental and physical delays. I am considering a serious career in this field when I complete my schooling. I am currently only available for care on weekends with notice. Pricing is negotiable. I love working with all kids, and have found myself to excel in this field, in a way I never knew possible. I love my job, and working with these children doesn't feel like a chore for me, I really feel it's something I've been called to do :)

Nannying and Babysitting!
| I used to work at Pinecrest Pool, so I'm completely certified in all first aid (A,B,C), airway management, NLS, Red Cross teaching and more. At the pool, I used to work 4 days a week. Saturday's we had a special needs swim program that I taught in. I taught many kids to swim for the first time, who had never had success with others. I take a lot of pride in my dedication and passion for caring for children. I've been babysitting for 6 years in both English and French and have worked at overnight camps. I'm very excited to embark on this journey and look forward to hearing from you! All the best, Alicia P.S - I can provide references and resume upon request. :)
