Summary

I have four younger siblings that my family adopted from 2015 to 2018, three of which we adopted when they were three and one while he was four. My job for the past few years has basically involved an outside company called Expertcare paying me to look after two of them, though I do commonly look after all of them. A few of my siblings also have special needs (ASD and Dyslexia for the two I'm able to professionally work with) which is why they were able to classify for the outside company to hire me to help out with them. Because of this I have a lot of experience with children ages 5-10 and also children with special needs. I have years of experience playing multiple instruments and practicing musical concepts. I most commonly play banjo and guitar, and I have been playing violin in an orchestra throughout grade school, and while not often I do play piano fairly well.
