Hello, I always established a positive relationship with child and parents. I have the ability to deal with difficult situations with consideration and I demonstrated ability to interact successfully with students with special needs including ASD. I have over 20 years of experience working as a Special Needs Aide in schools and private homes. I live and promote a healthy lifestyle. I love to read, and anything to do with the outdoors. I understand the emotional changes children can go through and I will always respond in a kind, respectful and reassuring way . I was also a school librarian grades pre-K through 8th for many years. I am available now for days, nights and weekends. I am first aid & CPR certified. I have completed all background checks and are available for you to view through Care. com.
