I have over five years of experience working with children in both educational and childcare settings, including students with autism and special needs. My background includes working as a permanent substitute teacher, assistant preschool teacher, and one-on-one special education paraprofessional. Through these roles, I have developed strong skills in classroom management, behavior support, communication, and creating safe, supportive environments where children can learn and grow. I am passionate about helping children build confidence, reach developmental milestones, and feel supported both academically and emotionally.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and educational activities that encourage learning, confidence, and social development. Some of my favorite activities to do with kids include arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading stories, sensory activities, educational games, imaginative play, and helping with homework or learning activities. I also enjoy creating structured routines while making learning fun and interactive. Building positive relationships with children and helping them feel supported, safe, and encouraged is something I truly value.

My experience with special needs children...

I have several years of experience working with children with special needs, including students with autism spectrum disorder and developmental disabilities, in both classroom and one-on-one settings. My experience includes providing behavioral support, assisting with communication and social skills, helping students stay engaged in academic activities, and creating a safe, structured, and supportive environment tailored to each child’s individual needs.

Through my work as a special education paraprofessional and substitute teacher, I have learned the importance of patience, consistency, empathy, and positive reinforcement. I am passionate about helping children build confidence, independence, and emotional regulation skills while supporting their overall growth and success both academically and socially.
