I'm currently looking for occasional work (i. e. date nights). Hi! I am a 20-year-old educational psychology student at UIC. I have 6 years of experience working with children and adults with disabilities. My experience includes being a program leader and camp director at Fox Valley Special Recreation Association, serving as Lead Volunteer for 4 years at Little Friends Respite Program, working as a Personal Support Worker, participating in Special Olympics, and tutoring through Gigi's Playhouse. I am CPR, First Aid, EMT-b, Mandated Reporter, and Handle with Care certified. I am comfortable with animals, have my own car, do not smoke, and have some knowledge of Spanish and ASL.
