I graduated from the University of Delaware in 2020 with a degree in psychology and minors in disability studies and fine art. I've worked with kids aged 2-9 on the Autism spectrum for the past year as a registered behavior technician. My responsibilities included feeding, toilet training, diaper changes, facilitating engaging group activities, behavior management, crisis intervention, and general childcare tasks. I have 4 years nannying experience prior with infants up to 9-year-olds. Additionally, I cared for children age 7-18 with diverse needs for two years in a residential summer camp. My responsibilities including engaging children in daily activities, behavior monitoring, toileting, dressing, feeding, showering, seizure monitoring, etc. I was an art teacher at the same camp for a year, where I planned inclusive and adaptive activities for all campers based on their unique needs. Working with children has always been my passion and is what I hope to continue to do in the future.
