Berkley G. - Los Angeles Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Berkley G.

Part-Time, 3 Years of Experience

I have over three years experience working as a one-on-one with children in the classroom. I have worked with children with special needs with various levels of autism, ADD, micro-seizures, and emotional disturbance. I create and execute behavior plans to promote learning in academics and social situations. Outside of the classroom, I have worked with children with many other needs. I have over 10 years of experience working as a camp counselor, developing programs that promote growth and independence for children with and without special needs. I know I've chosen the right career when I can see their confidence. I love being able to take a step back and notice what I have assisted a child in achieving. More importantly is seeing the realization of achievement on their faces.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I love to be outdoors. I love to go camping, ride horses, and swim. I like being active. I enjoy baking and watching people eat my baked goods. I like learning about new places and cultures, and I like to travel. I love a good book.
