[nabs-l] working with kids

[Lucy Sirianni]

Hi Ahbee,

Absolutely! I babysat regularly throughout my teenage years.  I 
started by reaching out directly to families I knew with young 
children to let them know of my interest in finding jobs, and I 
also made fliers to distribute throughout my neighborhood that 
included information about my background, availability, and 
references.  I was concerned that people would discount my 
ability to care for children because of my blindness, but while 
it's very possible some did, I always had as many clients as I 
wanted.

In addition to the babysitting, I also volunteered at a local 
children's shelter, tutored students struggling with reading at a 
nearby elementary school, and taught singing both one-on-one and 
to groups of children, so there are plenty of ways to work with 
kids in whatever capacity appeals to you.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Lucy

Hi Folks,

I want to babysit or get some experience with elementary 
children.  Is there a way that I could do that?
I am thinking about going into elementary teaching.  Any 
suggestions?

Thanks,
Ahbee
