University graduate looking for extra hours!
| I am a cheery, hard-working, and open-minded UBCO graduate with flexible hours. While I don't have any special needs care experience, I have plenty of experience working with people of all ages and needs. I currently work in a retirement home (>4 years experience), tutor middle and high school students (>5 years experience), and babysit/nanny children ranging from 0-15 years old (>6 years experience). I am confident that the skills I've developed in these positions (patience, empathy, and organization) make me an excellent candidate for any special needs care job. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR via multiple lifeguard courses. Let me know if I seem like a good fit for you!

Student looking to provide part time care.
| Hello! My name is Hayley and I am a 20 year old student. I have just recently moved to downtown Toronto from the rainy west coast. I am very experienced in special needs care! For most of my life my Mom has been a high school special needs teacher and has done lots of out side of class work. So it has always been a part of my life. Since the age of 15 I have done respite care on my own with multiple kids with different skills and abilities. I took them to appointments, planned activities for us, etc. During high school I was a coach with a special need soccer program. Along with that I also worked in a special needs day summer camp.

I discovered my passion for caring and teaching people with special needs when I was in elementary school and required Learning Assistance. While in learning assistance, I formed a bond with my LA teacher and EA that I still maintain today in the LA room I was allowed to and shown how to teach others and how to make learning material accessible. From that point on I made it my goal to become a Educational Assistant and Community Support Worker. While at VIU, I also fell in love with sign language from a fellow student and has been slowly learning since. I will be taking online sign language classes starting in September. My past special needs care experience include: peer tutoring during high school, practicum placement, on-call employment and most of my experience has come from my personal life. Diagnoses that I have assisted with are: Spinal Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder and varying degrees of Autism. I am also qualified with child care, senior care and tutoring.

Part-time university student - responsible - caring - friendly - energetic - fun
| Hello! I am a part-time university student at McMaster looking for part-time or casual work (short-term, occasional is fine). I am super friendly, responsible, and reliable. I love pets, and have a car for any transport needs. I have general experience babysitting children without special needs of all ages. I developed an interest in care-taking for children with special needs when my mother started teaching me how to help care for my sister who was diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome (blind, partially deaf, fed via g-tube, speech impairment, and developmentally delayed among other things). I learned in my teens how to administer medications orally and via gastric tube, and had tonnes of exposure to special needs communities and programs. Also familiar with some assistive device technology. I've provided occasional in-home care for 2 other special needs children, and a couple of times for a non-verbal autistic girl (aged 12). I have no official training or education in special needs care, but lots of personal and hands-on experience, which makes me feel comfortable looking after children who medically, emotionally, or cognitively require more challenging care. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
