If you want the truth, I have been a babysitter my whole life. Being in a family of six as the oldest daughter is not easy in the slightest. However, recently I've been lucky enough to work with two, nonverbal toddlers diagnosed with autism.
- Even though they couldn't speak directly to me, I learned how to adapt to their ways of communicating to make it smooth sailing for everyone.
- I learned how to make my own quick decisions based on what I thought would be best when their guardian was off limits.
- Maintained cleanliness and organization of play areas, ensuring a safe environment for all.
