Kristiana F. - Scottsdale Special Needs Caregiver

Experienced Scottsdale Nanny Available Weekends

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I have a family, whom I currently work with, that has a child with Asperger's syndrome. The mother has started a special needs school, and I have learned a great deal from her. In addition, I have worked with a couple of other families, where a child had Autism, and have learned a lot by reading books and watching one of the children's tutors. I also have experience with children who have special needs, from my volunteer work with the Phoenix Children's Hospital, as a "hugger" and playroom volunteer. I also gained a lot of experience while volunteering with the swim meets for the Special Olympics. I have experience with some of the conditions listed below, through my personal experiences with friends and family, as well as working as a personal trainer with special populations. I work part time as a nanny for two families, in addition to teaching occasional swim lessons. I am available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons after 3:00 p.m., as well as occasional evenings and weekends.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I am actively involved as a volunteer with Child Help USA. I am passionate about helping children who have been traumatized and abused, as I would like to be a counselor in the future.
