I am looking for an occasional sitter/part-time sitter/weekend sitter position. I have always loved to work with young children and adolescents. I have a Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology. Throughout my work in the field of psychology, I have gained patience, and I am a very adaptable person. I love being outside, arts and crafts, sports, reading, etc. I believe my knowledge of child development and my hands-on experience working with children make me a great candidate. Additionally, I also have over 10 years experience working with children with autism. I have previously worked with a family during my graduate studies with a child with ASD, who can be a reference (if needed).

As the Supervisor have directly supervised Kim in her role as a Recreational Aide and Camp Counselor. As a Recreational Aide in After School Program, her duties include implementing teaching and behavioral programs, collecting and managing data, preparing communication books, parent communication, and helping students with daily living, community and recreational skills. Kim works with students in small groups as well as in one to one ratios. As a Camp Counselor, Kim is responsible for working with each student on generalization skills, social skills, self care skills, and community skills. She also is responsible for overnight supervision of students during the 7 week residential camp schedule. She is responsible for progress reports, implementing teaching and behavioral programs, and collecting and managing data. She is an invaluable addition to our staff. She is extremely reliable and dependable, and can be counted on to perform her duties in a professional manner at all times. She is an energetic self-starter, and is also a very creative individual. Kim can always be counted on to be level headed in making quick and sound decisions in the community. She has worked with some of our most behavioral students without fear or hesitation. Her caring and professionalism is above average. Kim is very patient, caring, and genuinely enjoys the children and young adults with whom she has worked. She has also formed professional relationships with other staff and supervisors. I can say without reservation, that Kim has the maturity, commitment and sincere desire to take on the demands and challenges of any educational program. She would be an asset to any employer or organization.
