Experienced Special Needs Nanny. I Also Plan On Furthering My Education With Being A Special Ed
I currently babysit 3 children with autism. I have been volunteering at Camp Fatima for 10 years which is a nonprofit organization one week sleep away camp for children with special needs. I work at a special needs school, as a 1:1 aide. I also do ABA therapy afterwards.
I work with students with special needs in a school in NJ. I have worked with children ranging from ages 3-11. I never understood what people meant when they said "love speaks no words", the children where I work have brought so much love and happiness to my life that I never thought was possible.
