ABA training, RBT, BACB applicant, Autism Partnership Foundation 2022. M. Ed. - Psychology 2024. M. ED. Special Education. Focused on ASD and developmentally and emotionally challenged children. Registered in-home Easter Seals Respite childcare provider. Previously with Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Yes, I am a senior and have passed the criminal and DSS Child Protective Services background and have the required CPR, First Aid & Trauma for Infants and Children certificates and training for ACE concerns, plus the Virginia CDL with special needs endorsement. For several years, I have cared for a 9-year-old and a 5-year-old, both on the spectrum, and occasionally take them to the playground, weekend breaks, swimming, or horseback riding. I also provide weekly care for an elementary student, and I am a good fit for a family looking for occasional daily care or a weekend break. You will find I am good with kids and work with them where they are, not where someone thinks they should be.
