I have been volunteering with children ranging from newborn to kindergarten age for about 10 years. I volunteered as a Sunday school teacher for many years, frequently teaching children from 18 months to 6 years old. I regularly took care of an 8-year-old boy with autism and ADHD for two years, along with his 12-year-old sister. My nannying experience is with 3 families with children ages 4-9. I was recently employed as a Classroom Behavior Assistant. In my 4 years there, I worked with children with a range of behavioral challenges including children with Down Syndrome, ADHD, ADD, Asperger's, Tourette's Syndrome, and Autism. I have extensive experience with children on many different places on the autism spectrum - high functioning to low functioning. I have been working as a Behavior Therapist in the East Bay since June 2014, providing in-home ABA therapy to families. I am currently training for my Registered Behavioral Technician certification. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love children and the fact that they are the future fascinates me. I find it an honor to be a part of their lives and investing time into their futures.
