I have about 3 years working with children and adults with special needs of all types. I have a younger brother with Down syndrome. I have experience babysitting as well as volunteering at camps for children/teens with special needs. I did 1 year of college in special education, but then decided on a change of major.
I've worked with multiple children on the autism spectrum. I've also worked with developmentally (speech) delayed children and children with emotionally problems! I'm loving, patient, and kind, so I can give your child(ren) all the time and affectionate attention they deserve!
