I started in Aug. 2017-present. -I currently work as an Instructional Student Aid for elementary aged students M-F. I do most basic personal care procedures, if you have questions about specifics, just ask. Even if I do not have experience in specific adaptive equipment, I am more than willing to learn. I know basic sign language and can hold simple conversations. I have my FBI and Child Abuse clearances and I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm looking for something casual.
