About Mckayla

I'm a 20-year-old college student home looking to work! I'm a neuroscience major looking to go to occupational therapy school after college and specialize in pediatrics. I've babysat since I was 15 which was also my first work with the special needs community, babysitting a boy with autism. I was with him and his family until I graduated high school and have babysat other families with kids from ages 2 to 13. I've been volunteering with people with special needs since I was 16 starting at GiGi's Playhouse for those with Down syndrome and last summer, I worked at an overnight camp for all people of all ages with developmental and physical disabilities. From this work, I now have experience with behavioral challenges, lifting and transferring, G tubes and feedings, seizures, hygiene assistance including toileting and showering, etc. I have always loved working with kids and look forward to spending my future working with little ones.
