I am energetic, fun, trustworthy, patient, and loving. I can work with people of any ages. I have extensive experience with children with special needs, including autism and Asperger's syndrome. I have two brothers, one older and one younger, who were both diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at early ages. I volunteered as a tutor for a few years at a program to help tutor homeless children. I am able to help make homework more enjoyable while they learn. My mother was a preschool teacher, I would spend every day there while I grew up helping out tutoring, playing, and babysitting. I spent many nights throughout middle and high school babysitting kids in my neighborhood of all ages. Also in high school, I worked at a residential care facility as a Certified Nursing Assistant for two years. My job included bathing, dressing, feeding, oral care, nail and hair care, and so much more. I also have experience working in the hospital caring for patients of all ages with similar care needed for one year. I am looking to work part time, preferably during the day time or as an after school sitter, but I can do evenings as needed.
