I have been working with children of special needs of all ages for about 10 years and have a lot of experience, patience, and knowledge to offer your children and you. I have worked privately as a babysitter and tutor as well as a special needs teacher. My passion for children with special needs is very driven and motivated. To watch a child learn, understand, and master something new is a wonderful joy in it of itself; but when a child that has learning difficulties or delays grasps something new, it is 10x more rewarding and makes my heart melt and jump at the same time. Whether it's making a step forward socially/emotionally or academically/life-skills, it's always an amazing achievement which should be applauded due to how much more amazingly difficult it is for them compared to other children. Special needs gives special joy. I am NYS fingerprinted and back-round check cleared, as well as CPR and First-Aid certified. I have a very detailed resume with a complete list of references and their contact information available for your viewing.
