I have had a passion for helping those diagnosed with special needs ever since I first babysat an Autistic boy when I was 14. I love being able to make a difference in a child's life while helping out those around them as well. I have experience babysitting two children with Autism, and tutoring/babysitting one child with Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as Dyslexia. Along with this, I spent about a year as a certified Behavioral Interventionist, teaching children from ages 3-14 different life skills and study skills. Their diagnoses ranged from severe ASD to Down Syndrome to ADD. I truly love this line of work, and hope to continue it throughout my entire life, as I am majoring in Developmental Psychology in order to further that.
