Hi! My name is Jessica and I am a kind, compassionate one on one aide and tutor obtaining my masters in Special Education. My passion for working with children with special needs began during my experience volunteering abroad at an orphanage in Antigua, Guatemala. I then decided to pursue my career and became a full time aide in a special needs classroom at a charter school in Buffalo, NY. There, I had hands on experience working with children with autism high on the spectrum, nonverbal students, highly aggressive and high behavioral problems as well as children who were medically frail and had multiple disabilities. My passion in life is to see all my students succeed and gain as much independence as possible. For me there is nothing more satisfying then see a child gain confidence and be proud of his/her accomplishments in and out of the classroom. Looking forward to working with you!
