Dependable & Professional License ABA therapist 12+years experiences in childcare. Degree in Early Childhood Education, Background in Child development & Newborn Care Specialist certified. Hello Families, My name is Vanessa, you can call me Miss V. I worked as a lead teacher & ABA Therapist. As a Childcare specialist, I am enjoy watching children grow and learn, helping students build self-esteem and believe in themselves and their ability to learn, no matter their background or abilities. I have experience working with all ages from Newborn to 12-year-old. I'm very passionate for what I do and always try my best to keep the youth engaged by accommodating to their needs and using their interests. I've always liked working with kids and I would say that working with kids on the autism spectrum was one of the most rewarding career. I really enjoy being with children and seeing them growing & have fun safe environment. I love making arts project, books & Cooking and I love pet too.
