A little bit about me

I am an ABA behavioral technician for autistic kids during the week and I have been working in this field for about a year. I like caring for people because I love helping them learn and grow so they can interact with the world around them. My top 3 caregiving skills are patience, creativity and flexibility. I’d describe my personality as diligent, calm and optimistic. In my spare time I love to spend time outdoors gardening, exercising, or playing games with friends. I also enjoy indoor activities such as baking, yoga, and reading. I’m looking for a weekend job, or a few evening hours.
