I have over eight years of caring directly for those who have different needs, from toddlers to pre-teens. I have specialty experience with children with Autism, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome and ADHD. I have experience in communicating with PEC's, AAC and Sign Language. I am very patient and empathetic, I love to get on children's levels and engage with them directly in things they are interested in. My Care can also include cleaning, laundry, organization, driving, pool supervision, and special needs care. I am available for respite, babysitting, nannying, accompanying vacation nanny, and overnights. I have my own car, with valid insurance, and valid BLS/CPR certification. I have years of previous work in homes and in schools as a Registered Behavior Technician in the ABA field. I was also previously a live-in nanny, a nanny and an occasional babysitter. I am currently studying to pass my AAPC CPC exam.
