Amy S. - Seattle Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Amy S.

Part-Time, 4 Years of Experience

I'm a special needs nanny because proper care of these children reveal their gifts of play, ingenuity and acceptance that enlighten the rest of us. In fact, I wrote an article about the the uniqueness of each individual.

I have four years experience working with Autism, RETT and Prader Willi with children under 13 and their siblings. I also have a keen understanding of sensory and auditory integration problems and language delay. I'm especially creative with play and discipline including movement and the visual arts.

I have Lifeguard, CPR/AED and First Aid certification. I'm a First Choice employee and therefore eligible to be partly paid through DSHS.

Please contact me I'd love to get to know your child.
Related Hobbies and Interests
Creative art education, swimming, dancing and movement, Tai Chi, games, memoir and essay writing and Judaic education. In addition, I'm great at planning parties.
