Attended feeding therapy, floor time therapy, jump-start and speech therapy with the parents. Duties also included bath times, bed time prep, meal time prep, cleaning, taking the kids to the park, structured art time, play time and helping parents cope and adjust to the needs of their child. We met occasionally to discuss my ideas for intervention for both their 12 month old son and their 4.5 year old daughter; some of these interventions included suggesting emotional mindfulness training which includes teaching parents to allow their children to feel the emotions they are feeling, placing a name (language) to these emotions and helping children develop adaptive coping skills, I also helped them to monitor their reactions to the older child which included parents’ being aware of when they became upset and overwhelmed by their daughter’s behavior and instead of reacting right away, they would take a second to breathe and deal with their own emotions, and lastly I discussed implementing a behavioral momentum sticker chart, taking data on intrusive outbursts and professional expressive therapy. Experience also includes: Behavioral Therapist Provide one-to-one in home and school based therapy sessions to children with Autism, aged 1-10.

I planned and directed recreational programs for thirteen campers, aged 7-9 years old. Along with another senior counselor, a junior counselor and a counselor in training, I formulated a schedule for the two weeks and ensured that our plans were appropriately timed, taking into account how long we will stay at each activity, and how long it would take us to get from one activity to the next. I also made sure to always have a back up plan or activity in mind in the event that our scheduled activity did not work out. Also, as a team we collaborated to make sure that we were selecting age appropriate activities and that these activities were fun and enjoyable for our kids group. At the end of camp we asked each camper to evaluate the counselors in an open and honest manner.

Assembled campfires to cook meals and provided physical care to assist in maintenance of campers’ daily activities. And much more direct childcare experience.

Most recently I worked with twins (a boy and a girl) staying with them from the age of 7 to 9. For awhile I was working to take care of both of them, and then towards the end was primarily working with the girl, in an attempt to establish some independence. Before that I worked with a three year old for a year, before she entered pre-school. This was a situation where her mother worked at home, and I would come to their home for the morning then normally to the park or museum during the day. Before that I worked with a family as a family assistant, taking care of grocery shopping, food prep, and caring for two children, a boy of the age of 5 and his sister who was 12. I have also worked to try and help socialize young adults and provide vocational skills, both at home and in a more classroom setting. From the ages of 12 to 21. There have been gaps in all these experiences for I also work in the arts, and have worked as an art teacher here and there.
