Over the years I have taken classes on how to work with children with different abilities. As well as working with children, like when I would nanny or when I worked at kids first swim school. I worked with a range of children with a range of abilities. They are some of my favorite children to work and build a bond with.
I'd describe my personality as fun, approachable, and positive. I enjoy caring for people and treat individuals with care and respect. Every child deserves to be loved.
