Amy J. - Salt Lake City Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Amy J.

Part-Time, 8 Years of Experience

I started out working with children with autism when I was 12 years old. I baby-sat them and integrated therapy based on their needs. Since then I have had a love and passion for children and people of all abilities. I have worked in group homes for adults with disabilities, worked as a teacher assistant and lead teacher assistant in school settings, and was the director of a summer day camp program for kids with disabilities. I have cared for and taught children as young as 18 months to adults as old as 76. I am going to school to become a social worker!
Related Hobbies and Interests
I play the piano, sing, and like to play games. Satisfaction comes in finding solutions to challenges. My passion is being able to tap into people on their level and develop trust. I love when I can connect with people and help them find their greatness!
