I'd describe my personality as creative, patient, dependable, and kind. I started to work with those with special needs when I was in elem school, so I've had much on/off exp caring for those with special needs. I have earned my Child Development Associate, and I have also earned my bachelor's degree at FGCU with a major in psychology and a minor in education and forensics. My main focus was child growth and development, including typical and atypical individuals. After college, I worked at The Arc as Psychosocial Rehabilitation Practitioner, managing a group therapy curriculum for those with intellectual disabilities and mental health disorders. I know how to tailor my caregiving technique to each individual as they are to help them to be the best version of themselves they can be. I am First-Aid/CPR/AED certified in infants, child, and adults. I can provide swim supervision, homework help, transportation, and more. I love to chat more to see if I would be a great fit for your family!
