Hi Risa!

I’m currently finishing my first year of the Master of Arts in Teaching program at Towson and I just attended a panel discussion with parents of students with special needs where I learned about Maggie’s Light.

I’m planning on becoming certified to teach Elementary Education, but I would love to gain experience working with students with special needs since the more experience I have will make me a better teacher!

I currently work at T. Rowe Price in Owings Mills and live in Baltimore. I would be available on the weekends and after 4pm during the week except Tuesdays and Thursdays during July for a summer class. In August, I plan to resign with T. Rowe Price due to the demands of the final year of the MAT program, so my availability would most likely increase.

Avery sounds wonderful from your description and looks like such a sweet boy! If my schedule and background sounds like what you are looking for, please contact me and we can talk more. My email is megan.bainbridge@yahoo.com.

Thanks!!

Hi, my name is Danielle Curry and I just recently graduated from Harrisburg Area Community College with my nursing degree and just moved to Towson. I am currently studying for my state boards and I am interested in temporary work until I find my permanent nursing job. Depending on the hours I would like to continue working with this organization as my schedule permits. Right now I am pretty much available any day, any time. I have a lot of experience with children which includes working at Small Steps Daycare School in York, PA for 4 years and I have been babysitting for 2 families for 4-5+ years on a pretty regular basis. I have also babysat for many other families on a more part time basis. I am CPR certified as well as my nursing skills, good work ethic and most important, compassion I have learned throughout my nursing education. If you would like to learn more about me or see a copy of my resume or references, my email is danic1228@aol.com. Feel free to email with any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to hearing from you and learning more about Avery and your family!

Hi. My name is Samantha Child, “Sam” to anyone who knows me. I am in my junior year of nursing school at Towson University. I have a current CNA (certified nursing assistant) license and am CPR certified. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember and love working with kids and teens. My brother has mild autism (Asperger’s syndrome) and went to the Lab School of Baltimore as a teen. He is now at Columbia College of Chicago. My family is very proud of him and I appreciate the obstacles children with learning and mental disabilities have to overcome. I am very patient and learn quickly. Once I am shown how to do something I will remember it. My availability is mostly afternoons and evenings and anytime during the weekend. Thursdays I can work in the morning. I cannot work on Tuesdays. I’d love to help out! My e-mail is schild4@students.towson.edu if you would like to contact me.

In the past I have worked as a counselor at a summer camp in southern Maryland for children ages 3-21 with varying levels of special needs, Camp Co-op. I also have three nephews, ages 2, 7, and 9, whom I babysit regularly when I am home from Towson. I am taking a summer class on Mondays and Wednesday s from 6:30-9:30 PM from May 24 – July 14 and I am a waitress part-time but I have very flexible hours.

Hello,

My name is Trishawna Ruff but I go by Shawnee. I currently attend Stevenson University. A large portion of my career here, I’ve majored in Nursing. Just until recently I’ve changed my major to Human Services with a track in Administration in Programs for Children. I believe that every child has potential and can bring happiness to everyone’s life, and shouldn’t be looked down upon because they are different. I’m certified in CPR. I also want to go back to school once I graduate to achieve a master in Counseling and a BS in Nursing. I’ve been inspired to work with children and to help them from my aunt as I grew up. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of two. During her surgery the doctors removed a portion of her brain that controlled her motor skills. My aunt, who’s now in her thirties, cannot take care of herself and has to use a wheelchair to get around. I make sure that I see her as much as I can and color with her, because I know that she misses our time coloring in her coloring books. I would be honored if given the chance to work with your son. If you have any questions, please contact me at 410-372-7091 or at shawnee2882@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
