I am available for full or part-time work. I have worked with many types of children, of all different ages. I've cared for an infant with Down Syndrome, and worked as a para educator in an elementary special needs classroom for two years. I worked with grades 3-6 majority of my time, but grades 1-2 as well. I'd take them to mainstream with other kids in their grades, so I got to work with over 100 wonderful kids this way. I nannied a 6-year-old boy for one year before moving to Los Angeles. I've now worked as a Special Needs/Behavioral Needs tutor/caretaker for a 7 through 11-year-old child for nearly five years. I'm a creative, artistic person who loves to paint, color, play with chalk, sing, do crafts and have fun with the kids! I love working with kids and am passionate about encouraging them to be creative and helping them grow. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. Please let me know if you have any additional questions for me!
