I love working with children, and I have always had a special place in my heart for children with special needs. All children are blessings and gifts from God, and I hope to work with children with my career, possibly as a music therapist or early childhood education. I am currently a music major. I work in my church's nursery back at home and have had children in my class who are deaf, have autism, food allergies, and down syndrome. I currently work part-time for a family with a teen with down syndrome and autism. I babysat for a family whose son had a speech delay, and I have experience with dealing with ADHD/ADD because of family. I have asthma so I know how to handle situations with asthma, and I take that very seriously. I know how severe medical issues can be, so I will work hard to make sure that your children are well-taken care of and safe. I look forward to working with you! I'm not sure why it isn't listing all of my experience with certain diagnoses. Here's the list: ADD/ADHD* Autism/ASD* Asperger's* Asthma* Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Speech Delay Developmental Delays Mental Illness* Cognitive Disabilities Deafness Down Syndrome* Food Allergies Muscular Dystrophy Pervasive Developmental Disorder I plan to work as a special education teacher, music therapist, and/or behavioral therapist for children with autism and severe mental illnesses. If I don't have experience with a certain condition that your child has, PLEASE train me (I am VERY much willing to learn!), I would love to gain experience as well as helping your family out! Thank you and I look forward to working with you! RATES: See my childcare profile! Have a blessed day!
