[Laura Szulczyk]

Hello! I'm looking for a BI who is reliable/punctual, energetic and enthusiastic. Experience not necessary as long as you can be silly!

My son is 4.5 years old, able to have limited conversations with close family, he’s super energetic, humorous, speaks in multiple loops to everyone and loves many toys and games. He is currently in a wonderful and supportive preschool/Daycare three days a week. He has been participating in a home ABA program for over a year now (under the consultant Dominika Szymanska) and is doing so well.

The kicker: it’s an early start. I'm looking to find someone from 7:30-9:30 am Mon/Tues/Wed (or at least two of those days). I also have some Thurs/Friday spots that are open.

I am very involved in the program and work closely with everyone to ensure we all get the support and resources we need to have the maximum impact on my beautiful boy. If you're interested, please contact me at lauraszulczyk@gmail.com.
