Special Needs Carer - Croydon CR0
| I first became involved in special needs care when I worked at a summer camp in New York for people with developmental disabilities. In 2011, I worked with adults between the ages of 20 and 60 with Down's syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy and developmental delays. In 2012, I worked mainly with young children with autism and teenagers with mobility problems and cerebral palsy. I was responsible for providing personal care and support to take part in various activities, as well as following behaviour plans and managing challenging behaviour. I have also worked as a support worker in a residential home for adults with learning disabilities, autism and Down's syndrome. I provided residents with support in all areas of daily living (personal care, household chores, shopping), as well as providing support to access the local community. I have completed a Masters in Applied Behaviour Analysis and I am working as an ABA therapist for children with autism. I am passionate about promoting independence for people with special needs and I love what I do. I am currently studying to become a Learning Disability nurse and I look forward to developing clinical skills and expertise in caring for people with complex needs.

FAQs for finding special needs care

How much does it cost to hire a special needs care provider in 2024?

At a national level, hiring someone on Care.com for special needs care costs an average of £13.41 per hour as of July 2024. This rate of pay can vary depending on how much experience the provider has, the specialised training they have in working with people with special needs and the degree of care that needs to be provided.

What services can a special needs care provider perform?

Special needs care providers are specialised caregivers that are generally trained to help people with a variety of physical, developmental, behavioral or emotional needs. Many also have experience preparing meals and administering medication. Some carers specialise in looking after children with special needs and can also plan customised activities to keep your child social and stimulated, both physically and mentally.

How can I find special needs care on Care.com?

You can filter special needs care providers by distance from your area and compare each person by their hourly rate, experience and specific skill set they have working with people with special needs.
