My experience in caring for children with special needs started when I was young around 13 years old. My mom is a teacher with special needs to I learned early. As soon as I was out of high school I applied for a job being a one to one para for a teenage boy with ASD. I worked for this school district for 5 years until he aged out of the program. Then in a private school where I am currently working. I am also attending William Paterson University studying to become a special education teacher. As you can see working with children is a passion of mine. I hope to hear from you soon!
