My name is Rob. I am writing to offer my services to you as a live-in care provider. I am an educator and a student studying Special Education. I am working towards a degree as a classroom teacher. I have been working with adults & children of various ages and abilities for over 15 years.
I am an educator and a caretaker for people with disabilities. When I lived in Pasadena, CA, I was a Teacher's Assistant at the Frostig Center. The Frostig Center is one of the leading centers in learning disability research. I have attended myriad classes and training sessions learning research based instructional methods such as the Strategic Instruction Model from The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. I am also a student working towards a degree in Early Childhood Education, so you can rest assured that I am dedicated to providing your child with developmentally appropriate and stimulating positive reinforcement and following the instructions outlined in your Behavior Intervention Plan.
Along with my work in education, I also work as a residential counselor for Villa Esperanza Services. We provide residential assistance for adults with developmental disabilities such as Mental Retardation, Autism, Down syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. I am a patient and persistent professional.
I have worked with children and adults with mild, moderate, and sever autism, other developmental disabilities and some very challenging behaviors. Along with my other teaching and care taking positions, I have worked as a part-time Behavior Intervention Technician with Seek Education in Los Angeles. I have been a part of several very successful behavior intervention teams as a Behavior Technician under the supervision of an ABA certified and licensed Behavior Specialist. I have used traditional Discrete Trial Training and less structured play-oriented methods that are similar to "floor-time." I have received extensive training in DTT and can provide excellent references from parents. I am organized, prompt, and attentive; I have excellent communication skills and I am very patient and caring. I am first aid and CPR certified.
I believe that I will be a nurturing and helpful asset to your family. Please feel free to reach me. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
