Hi families! A little about me: I live in Dutchess County. For 10+ years, I have worked in special education programs, assisting and teaching students one-on-one in home and school settings. I have 7 years of hands-on experience working with children diagnosed with learning differences, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Downs Syndrome and ADHD. I am trained in teaching communication and coping skills, providing a sensory-friendly environment, sensory-based activities, and games. I love encouraging creativity, being outdoors in nature, drawing, and building activities. Credentials: College graduate, CPR certified, First Aid certified, clean driving record, and smoke-free.
