I was a school bus aide, so I supervised special needs students on their school bus ride. I then moved in the schools and currently substitute for 2 districts as a paraprofessional. I am supportive, caring, and understanding of my students' needs. I find a great joy in being around and helping any way that I can. They can learn and grow from me, and to learn and grow from them. I am a dedicated and loyal person, especially when it comes to helping out these special kids. I have a wonderful 7-year-old son of my own who brings me much joy. I am grateful for my ability of compassion. I will look forward to working with your child given the opportunity. Thank you.
