American Sign Language with Taryn W.

Weld RE4 School District

Educational Interpreters are a part of IDEA (Individual's with Disabilities in Education) act, and are considered to be related service providers. In my work as an educational interpreter, I work for the school district and am a necessary part of relaying educational information as well as fostering social and cognitive development for the children I service. Given I work in the school system, I interpret a number of things from educational content, to social situations. My speciality is early childhood and working with youth while interpreting.

Self-Employeed

I have had many years experience working with children who are Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and H.I.. I love kiddos and specialize in being able to nanny for long periods of time, immersed in the language to care for them while parents and caretakers are unavailable. This immersion experience has provided me not only with excess vocabulary, but understanding of how the family unit functions when a foreign language is used and the primary means of communication. I have nannied for a number of families over the years.
