I have a B. A in preschool - 3rd grade. I worked w typical and atypical child reg ed and special education for several years. I also worked as a Development Specialist for Early Intervention working w children 6 months to 3 years old. I taught preschool there as well. I've been in childcare for the past 20 years. I find working with children a fun and rewarding experience. I am currently caring for a 18-month-old deaf baby we are learning baby sign language together :). I care for w a 3-year-old little girl, I began caring for her when she was 3 months old. I now take care of her 6 month little brother too. I cared for a 4 year little boy who had Down syndrome, Autism, and was non verbal. I took care of him for 1 1/2 years until the family moved . I like to use puppets while we read, sing and play and work on those milestones. I was also a Special Ed teacher and tutor for children ages 4-22. We did of arts and crafts and worked on the goals from their IFSP and IEP plans
