Hi there! I have my paraprofessional certificate and have worked in public and private schools for five years. I have experience with elementary to early 20s. I have nannied for a child with ADD and one with autism. In the school setting, I have worked with many different students from those with autism to those with Down's syndrome. In college I did take a year of sign language and I do know the basics. I really enjoy working with and teaching special needs children. It brings a lot of joy to see the light bulb come on and the smile they show. If you have more questions about my experience or qualifications please feel free to ask!
