I am a very patient, creative, responsible, and enthusiastic individual with almost 6 years of experience working with kids ages 3-11 in child care, and 4 years working with children with special needs ages 3-21! I am CPR certified. I'm currently an occupational therapy (OT) student, and my passion is to work with children and teens with special needs! Five years ago I was responsible for leading a group of 12 elementary-age boys at a sleep-away summer camp, and I have had 4 internship experiences with children and young adults with disabilities. I am a college graduate with a bachelors degree in recreational therapy, which involves leading and promoting age-appropriate therapeutic recreation activities for those with special needs to gain confidence, a sense of achievement, and quality of life while having fun! Since 2015, I have been working with a young child with autism in his home to further develop play and social skills.
