I have two children of my own whom which Ive cared for from newborns untill present. One of my children is full time (male 6 years of age) , while my second child is in school parttime (female 5 years of age). I have been working for PLASP ( peel lunch afterschool program ) since 2005 untill present. I work as a program leader in the afterschool program at a school in toronto. I I have worked with a specific child who was diagnosed with ADHD and who required much more attention than the other children. This was a challenging experience as children with special needs can affect the whole dynamic of the group of children. At the same time, the advantage of working with children with special needs is rewarding in many ways.
