I have a 3 year old nephew who currently lives at home with me, and I started my Early Learning and Childcare Program in the fall of 2014, where I had the opportunity to have two practicums which taught me a tremendous amount, and also got employed by for a short amount of time, and now am living in my hometown working at the daycare as a casual staff, which gives me the opportunity to work with every age group and also continue to grow as an educator by working with many qualified staff. My experience with children directly has been such an amazing experience the entire time, I enjoy what I do and would like to further my training and find a job where I can stay for long term. While I do not have much experience with children with special needs, I am willing to adapt my daily schedule to more suit a child with special needs, and also refer to whatever resources to assist me in the process.
