I like to encourage children with special needs so they don't get discouraged. I seek to treat them compassionately and without condescension. I can help them through art and other creative play.
I have cared for autistic child for the past 4 years. I have a lot of patience and drove him to school and picked him up from the bus stop. I like to talk and make sure they are comfortable with everything. I am also firm and can overcome behavioral issues when need be.

I have exceptional references from a well-known school district, along with directing diverse groups of children in different settings.
