Hi everyone! I am available for nights & weekends for your family. I've worked full time at Seattle Public Schools since 2016. I work in the special education department there. I am looking for some extra work to help off set the price of my student loans that I am paying back. I have a younger sister who has cerebral palsy & have been very involved with her education and health. I have 10 years of experience working at a camp for kids with disabilities. I have 4 years working after school twice a week with kids k-3 grade. I love getting to know new kids & how to best communicate with them and facilitate them reaching their own goals. Most of the time after we meet to see if I am a good fit for your family I need a week in advance to schedule, I may be available last minute-never hurt to ask. I am in the process of renewing my CPR/first aid & am enrolled in an ASL class.
