A little bit about me

I am an educator and childcare professional who has been caring for children for over ten years.

I have worked in child care for the past four years, and two years prior I was a middle school paraprofessional. I've been a camp counselor and director in the summer. I have my degree in elementary education, and throughout my four years of undergrad I worked in numerous rural, suburban, and inner city schools for class credit.

I've cared for and taught children with disabilities including, but not limited to, autism, cerebral palsy, and microcephaly.

A little bit about me

I am a Senior at EIU. I am studying Psychology, with the intention of becoming a Clinical Therapist for children and hoping to specialize in Autism. I've had over 20 years of childcare experience and have also studied Child Development. I love the color purple, The Wizard of Oz, and dolls! I am willing to become certified in First Aid and CPR.
I love travel and doing new things. I am currently walking with the aid of a cane, although I can walk without for shorter periods of time. I don't want that to be a surprise or anything. I have severe arthritis in my right knee and eventually will require knee replacement surgery. I currently look after 2 boys, 11 and 4 on the weekends, so I am still capable of doing what I need to.
