About Allyson

Hi there! I'm a 23-year-old paraprofessional in a special needs classroom during the school year, so I'm searching for the right fit to fill my summer. I have over a year of experience in working with children who have disabilities including down syndrome and those on the autism spectrum. I take pride in my job and in general love working with children. I value teaching independence and exemplifying empathy to our young minds as they learn to navigate the world today. Prior babysitting experience includes caring for 1-3 children between the ages of newborn and 8. My own hobbies include singing, piano, and other various creative activities. I was also a two sport athlete for most of my young life so I enjoy being active and am able to keep up with even the most energetic kids. I grew up having no less than 2 dogs in the house and have dog/cat sat many times, so pets are a non-issue for me.
