Nanny
6 Months- Responsibilities include preparing breakfast, cleaning, packing lunches, getting children ready for the day and driving them to school.
Behavior Technician
4 Months- Responsibilities include working with children who have autism. The job entails implementing each child’s specific behavior intervention plan that was created by the ABA therapist. Each behavior intervention plan has a unique set of goals for the children to accomplish such as brushing teeth on their own, listening to two step instructions, learning new words and phrases, and how to properly ask for things. I worked with the children on these goals, built rapport with them, played with them to keep them engaged in activities, and managed challenging behavior with a calm, loving, and patient attitude.
