I've worked in the education field for over 20 years. I have a degree in Special Ed & have experience working with children from infants through 12 years. I have experience with special needs children in the areas of Down Syndrome, ADHD, Autism, Developmental Delay, Language & Cognitive impairments. I've spent many years teaching Preschool in both regular & special needs classrooms. Most recently I taught PreK in the public school setting. As 2022 began, I decided to not work full time. l'm staying home to help care for my parents & spoil my grandbabies. I believe every child is unique & has something to contribute to our world. It is our job as parents, educators, & caretakers to guide them in achieving that. Education is part of my life & I hope to stay connected through child care & babysitting services. I look forward to working with your family. Plese note that I am looking for part-time, short term, & one-time jobs only... not full-time.
