Special Needs Care in New Westminster

| Hi there, My name is Bethany. My experience is a mixture of personal and paid. My little brother has autism and ADHD. I myself have ADHD. Which makes me fun and relatable. I did all the classes growing up to learn how to be supportive and interact appropriately. I was friends with the children in special needs classes and would volunteer to help out. I didn't see them as special needs, I saw them as friends. When I was running my own daycare I had a child with sensory processing and motor development delays. I have worked with children who use G-tube, AFO's, communication tablets, baby sign and more. I pick things up quickly and I'm more than happy to learn!

| My Purpose and passion in this life is caring for others. I am stable, patient, compassionate, understanding, consistent, determined, kindhearted, honest, gentle, generous, joyful and positive. I am healthy. Strong physically. I am blessed and grateful. I consider how another person may feel before I speak and act. I can admit my mistakes and most importantly I know that I unfailingly possess a conscience which means that I must do the right thing. If I make a mistake, I will make it right. I adore children, disabled or challenged or gifted people; seniors and animals. I have always felt a connection to them. I am loyal and discreet. Respectful. My name is Bobbi.

| I am a small business owner (sole proprietorship) who uses his L.I.F.E. (Love, Independence, Fulfillment, Empowerment) based support strategy to develop fulfillment inside and out for people with developmental disabilities ages 10 to 60. I developed it through my day to day experience taking care of my older brother with autism, helping him find his purpose in music, develop communication and community inclusion skills. Through my 6 years in the field by volunteering as a Special Olympics coach and as a support worker for multiple agencies to spread my knowledge. Share and build on my experience throughout them impacting lots of individuals and families .I use my heart and relationship building experience to have the individual and family develop trust in me through creating structured goals and then putting them into action, in doing so they develop independence. As time goes by the end goal for the individual is to develop the four levels of self (Self Esteem, Self-Love, Self-Worth and Self-Acceptance) and empowered to keep creating more goals and be the best version of themselves they can be and not labeled by their disability.
