About Carol

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

11 yrs as a paraprofessional for Pre-K -2nd... children with Autism teaching ABA /positive reinforcement, & pre-k, K, 1st grade regular ed. After early retirement from the corporate world, I applied for a position as a kindergarten aide.. Being in the classroom for just one week, I felt more alive than I had for a long time in my corporate job. The kids gave me a run for my money & I loved it. I took an interest in special ed & began training in ABA. That was the most challenging & most rewarding thing that I have ever done. I landed a position at a local school & was there for 6 years in pre-k/autism. I was CPR/first aide certified for 6 yrs but it wasn't required in my last school and as a result, I let it lapse. I also cared for twin 18 mo. old girls for over a yr. that I met on this site Then onto another program for toddlers on the spectrum where I worked for 5 years. I retired in 2015 and began caring for children on my own.

Carol watched our 3 month old when I started back to work after maternity leave. She is wonderful. She plays with him all day and sings so many songs. He lights up when he sees her! She's great!
