University graduate looking for extra hours!
| I am a cheery, hard-working, and open-minded UBCO graduate with flexible hours. While I don't have any special needs care experience, I have plenty of experience working with people of all ages and needs. I currently work in a retirement home (>4 years experience), tutor middle and high school students (>5 years experience), and babysit/nanny children ranging from 0-15 years old (>6 years experience). I am confident that the skills I've developed in these positions (patience, empathy, and organization) make me an excellent candidate for any special needs care job. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR via multiple lifeguard courses. Let me know if I seem like a good fit for you!
