A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Liah, I am 20 years old and the oldest of four kids. I started babysitting my siblings at the age of 12 after school and on the weekends. During high school, I watched a group of 3-7 kids depending on the day after school.
I would:
Meet them at their bus stop
Walk back to the building together
Prepare snacks and activities (indoor and outdoor)
Help with homework
I have experience working with children with special needs. During high school, I completed my co-op at North Grenville District High School working with adolescents with special needs.
Some things I would do:
Help encourage good and healthy behaviour by reinforcing language, objects, or activities
Teaching and practicing coping strategies
Played card and board games like Uno, Go Fish, Candy Land, etc
I think it's extremely important to make sure I am giving as much rein as possible to children with special needs I think it's important for them to learn and not be helicoptered over.
