I have 10+ years experience caring for children aged 2 months-21 years in a variety of capacities. I loved working with kids so much during my Early Childhood Education classes in high school that it's the only job experience I've pursued! I have worked in the capacity of mother's helper, babysitter, full-time nanny (for families of 3 & 4 children), academic tutor, and special needs caregiver. I helped start and run a program in Glastonbury teaching Tae Kwon Do to kids with autism. In a school setting I have worked as a special education teacher, academic interventionist, and therapeutic crisis responder. I most recently ran a play therapy center for children with autism! I pride myself on being the biggest kid around, always involved with the arts and crafts, running around, and imaginative play.
