Andrea S. - Minneapolis Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Andrea S.

Part-Time, 5 Years of Experience

I have been working with children with special needs for over five years. I began as a para educator, working for a school district for all grade levels, and then at the district's special needs preschool. I have also worked as a behavior therapist for children with autism. In addition, I have an associate degree in child development. I love working with children, especially those with special needs. I plan to continue my education in child development and to keep working with children for many more years.
