I have about 4 years' experience as a nanny to a child with High Functioning Autism. I also have intensive training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and graduated with my Masters in Special Education (ABA emphasis) in May of 2016. Furthermore, I worked as a Behavioral Therapist from 2015 to 2017. Though working with children with Autism is a passion of mine, I also have experience working with people who have other special needs, including Cerebral Palsy, Down's Syndrome, deafness, developmental delay, and more. I'm looking for occasional week night care gigs (or weekly set dates), or weekend day time care gigs. If that's something you're interested in, let me know.
