Emily S. - Downingtown Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Emily S.

Part-Time, 4 Years of Experience

As a teenager I was an Easter Seals camp counselor for children with special needs (ages 6-21) for four summers. I also babysat a 10-year-old boy with autism after school while in high school and provided care for a 5-year-old boy with autism while a freshman in college. I am currently the graduate social work intern at Delaware County Easter Seals. I have limited sign language experience; I know basic words as well as the whole alphabet. I also have child abuse and criminal clearances on hand.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I have a bachelor's degree in social work and am currently getting my master's. I am also in a specialization program for child and family well being. I love to play board games, scrapbook, and spend time outside.
