Hi, my name is Ellen and I have a passion for working with individuals with special needs. I have a younger brother with Down syndrome and that is how I first became passionate about individuals with disabilities. I started volunteering at Jill's House, a place that provides respite care for. individuals with intellectual disabilities, in 2018. In the spring of 2020, I was a caregiver for an elderly woman, and also started working for a respect care system. In the summer of 2020, I was an intern at Jill's House. I am a Special and Elementary Education major at Cedarville University. I love children and have loved child care ever since I was a young teen. After college, I would prefer to work as a caregiver, weather than in the school system. I am high energy and loving keeping kids active. I am also comfortable with a wide variety of behaviors and I also have some experience with different health issues.
