About Thalia
Experience: 2 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have experience with both special needs children and typically developing kids. I spent two summers in college teaching a kids climbing camp for Touchstone. As a camp councilor, I taught up to 20 children how to climb as well as climbing safety. My experience with special needs children has been life long. My 18-year-old brother has a genetic disorder called tuberous sclerosis which causes seizures and developmental disability. His mental abilities are between a three and 5-year-old. I love my brother and adore the unique way he interacts with the world. Since high school I have helped my parents by caring for him when they go out. I have also volunteered in a special needs elementary school classroom for an activity credit in high school. I was able to bond with many of the students which was very rewarding.

Thalia was great with my special needs teens, and was pretty flexible with some of my schedule changes. We'll be glad when she is back in Seattle!
