I have been a TA for over 4 years working with kids attending elementary not in high school. I have experience with kids with special needs and have a good understanding of ASL. I’m currently in school so my availability is more limited but my work shows I am capable of being able to help out. My prices are low because I understand the need for looking after kids I have help raise my smaller cousins and siblings so I have a nurturing background. I’m also apart of my schools band regiment which is a big deal as it shows leadership skills. I am flexible with how much you pay as I’m working for experience and extra money but I would love to be part of your family as occasional help or even a weekend at home helper with just chores or cleaning.
