Profile of Amy S.

Part-Time, 1 Year of Experience

My previous job was as a paraprofessional in a special needs classroom. One teacher and four paras. There were seven children in the classroom with a variety of special needs ranging from autism to severe health problems. These kids were always so happy but some were also a challenge, which allowed me to grow and learn to help them.
