I am a special needs teacher currently taking a break from the classroom by working as a nanny. I am currently looking to fill my mornings now that both kids are in school full day and my nanny family only requires afternoons/evenings. I have 6 years of formal experience in working with individuals with significant cognitive and physical disabilities. I am comfortable with most any disability and/or diagnosis and don't mind changing diapers if needed. I have experience with g-tube feedings and exposure to individuals with trachs. I can assist with safe transfers. I understand that not all kids communicate in the same way and have a lot of experience with many different modes of non-verbal communication. I have worked on a multi-disciplinary team and can carry out OT/PT/SLP programs as needed. I am hard-working, but more importantly kind-hearted and a fast learner. Maybe I can be the right fit for you! Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

    Michelle was the most professional person I've ever interviewed from Care.com. Sadly, stars did not align to allow us to hire this wonderful person. She is going to be something special for that family that does hire her!
