Posted by JoesFutureWife

3 pts....weight watchers is awsm! I'm a firm believer in it. I was thin my entire life and then put on 80 lbs from meds that turned out to be meds i never needed (thanks again doctors) ive taken off 55 so far. Before and after pics are in my album. If you guys ever want to talk weight loss i'm always around!! Although you ladies look fantastic!!!

Where at?

I'm in SWR and Pat-Med

Sayville (almost every day) and middle country. What are your certifications in?? I have 1-6 general ed and special ed and 7-12 english language arts and 7-12 special education. I'm taking 2 classes in the spring to get my birth-2nd general education and special education. My sister in law works for an agency and the lady who owns it will automatically give me a job which pays really well doing early intervention. It is getting so disheartening looking for a job in the public schools.

joeswife, thanks!!! i am joining ww tomorrow... i have my masters in early childhood and childhood education from hofstra, bujt cant pass my multi subject cst. so i havent started teaching yet. just working in dh's restaurant now which doesnt help with the weight loss..

what is that?

Linda- Do you like Sayville??? I really like SWR and I'm mostly there but its kinda far and the pay isn't as good as PAt-Med. I'm certified Elementary PreK-6. I subbed for 2 years while I got my Masters and then taught 3rd grade in NC for 2 years, and now I'm back to subbing!

Michelle- What restaurant do you own?? Good Luck- I'm sure you'll pass the test soon!!

There are agencies scattered throughout long island that deal with young children (ages 6months-5years) that are not school age. Most of it is funded by the state and what your job is, is to evaluate children (such as children exhibiting signs of autism). Then you meet with the children a few times a week for hour intervals (depending on the case) and you work with them trying to help them reach their potential and exhibit less symptoms such as behavior modifications. My sister in law's agency is willing to pay $75/45 minutes plus around $250/evaluation.

ginos tuscany in massapequa, bellmore and bethpage. our partners also have a couple in rockville center and islip as well......

Early childhood....i'll ask my sister in law where you need to apply. There is just paperwork you need to submit. But you actually may be able to apply with your masters and not need anymore paperwork (its county paperwork). So i believe your qualified. Oh wait you may need your special ed certification for early childhood. I'll find out. Just send me a fm with a heading of Early intervention and i'll remember!!

Thank you!!
