Andrea E. - Minneapolis Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Andrea E.

Part-Time, 1 Year of Experience

My interest in working with children with special needs started when I interned at a residential treatment center for children with cognitive impairments and a variety of mental health diagnoses. Currently, I work in special education at an arts elementary school and am pursuing graduate admission in a school psychology master's program at the University of Minnesota. Thus, I am passionate about assisting children in their education as well as their behavioral and cognitive needs.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy the outdoors, especially in the summer, so I am willing and delighted to lead children in outdoor activities. I also have an interest in the arts. I was a dancer for 16 years and enjoy watching and participating in dance and theater performances.
