  About Me
 
I am a seventeen year old girl who just graduated from high school and will be starting college in the fall. I have a brother with Down Syndrome, and I have worked for the past four years for a family with two special needs children. I currently live with my parents, two brothers, my older sister, six chickens, three rabbits, three dogs, two rats, and my cat. I get along great with animals but more so with kids. I like watching Disney Junior almost as much as the kids do and I like a good story every now and then too. As much as I love messing around with kids, I have a firm understanding of what is acceptable and what is not, as well as that there is a time and a place. I work hard and keep up with the kids well, but will admit that on long days a cup of coffee will be within reaching distance. For the past four years I have worked for a family of four, all the children under six now and two of them with special needs; one with Down Syndrome and the other with extreme ADD and OCD. I am able to juggle multiple variables with a cool head, and I do well with multitasking. I also give booboo kisses on demand.
