I am an aspiring elementary and early childhood teacher, with an additional certification working with children with special needs, and I am passionate about working with children and infants. I've worked in childcare for 10 years now, and I've worked with infants from age 2 months up to children 9 years old. I've worked at various daycare centers, summer camps, and I've been babysitting and nannying for many years. I also have experience working with children with special needs, including volunteering at Children's Specialized Hospital for 4 years, serving as a babysitter for a child with special needs, and caring for my 2 younger cousins who are on the autism spectrum.
