I have significant experience working with children, especially those with special needs and behavioral problems. Most of my experience has been on a volunteer basis. I am extremely dedicated to helping children and individuals reach their full potential. My related experience (since the age of 16) includes babysitting, Sunday School Instructor, Child Care Worker (at an in-home daycare and a fitness center nursery), Preschool Assistant Volunteer, and Special Needs Respite Provider. My experience is primarily with ADHD, ODD, Bipolar disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Learning Disorders, Developmental Disorders, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. However, I have a true interest in learning more about other disorders. I have limited experience working with the physically handicapped. I am currently attending graduate school at SUNY Albany, working on a Master's in Social Work.

    I interviewed Kristen recently and she is lovely! She arrived for the interview a couple minutes early and answered all my questions and she asked great questions. She then got back to me quickly with her availability and I plan on contacting her the next time I need someone to watch my kids.
