I absolutely love what I do. I am currently employed with an agency who specializes in caring for children with special needs. Seeing the day to day development of my children is a feeling I cannot describe. I am not only proud of my work, I have received the opportunity to positively contribute something great to a child. I have had the ability to learn so much and develop my skills. I believe this field of work is very delicate as a lot of it concentrates on one's eagerness to truly dedicate love and care. I have worked with a wide range of special needs, going from ADD diagnosis, behavioral disorders, Autism, Autism spectrum, speech delays, feeding disorders, and sensory disorders. I have been trained and certified in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I am CPR and First Aid trained and certified. I have attended yearly conferences to further develop my knowledge on caring for people with special needs. My experience with children, alongside with the education I have received make me very qualified to work doing what I love.
