Hi, my name is Colleen and I am 25. I was a nanny for two years, for a couple with an 11-year-old boy with spina bifida, and his 6-year-old sister. This lasted until the boy moved up to live with his father in another state. I have a 21-year-old brother with apraxia, and I've volunteered at a respite we had at my church, until those who attended, moved away/found one closer to them. We had a few families driving more than an hour and a half, to come to our facility. I've helped with 2-3-year-old Sunday school for about 10 years now; started doing it because a boy with cerebral palsy wanted to go to Sunday school, so I was his one-on-one person. I am currently an ABA therapist working with a 17-year-old boy with severe Autism, CP and Epilepsy, working on His schooling with Him. As well as a nanny for a 7-year-old boy in the afternoons during the school year. My dream is to specialize in special needs and fine art photography, and to one day open an art gallery. Resume and references available upon request.
