A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Dania, and I'm currently a Special Education Instructional Assistant for Richland 2. I have a bachelor's degree in Human Development & Family Studies as well a background in special education, ABA, and early childhood. I previously worked as a Registered Behavioral Technician as well as a preschool teacher.

I'm looking to take on babysitting and tutoring jobs during school breaks, as well as occasional after-school or weekend care. I'm comfortable with routines, challenging behaviors, sensory needs, and helping kids stay engaged and regulated.

If you need extra help over winter break or want consistent support moving forward, feel free to reach out - I'd love to connect with your family!
