Hello All. My name is Victoria. I am 25 years old and I am an employee of CCPS as an Instructional Aid for Special Education. I have been working with kids with special needs for a few years, but only recently in a school setting. I look forward to hearing from you.
For a brief period I helped with childcare at my church. I also babysat a 2-year-old on Saturdays for a few months. I have had experience in babysitting for parents on occasion. For one summer I was a nanny for a 12-year-old girl. The following summer I was a nanny to my younger brother who has special needs.
