I never nannied a child with special needs until I attended University. His name was B, and I spent every Monday - Friday, for two consecutive years, with him. B has autism and is low functioning, meaning, that although he was 13 years of age, speaking (among other things), were not in his capabilities. Although we weren't able to verbally communicate with one another, I found other ways for us to connect. Whether it was laying on the trampoline, listening to music and just staring up at the sky while he pointed out the clouds or walking to the market everyday for him to pick out a snack, we made it work. My second favorite part about working with B, would have had to be overcoming obstacles he faced. His parents gave me free range to try new things with him, and for whatever reason, he listened and trusted me enough to try them. The bond I developed with B over those two years, and have continued till now, is something I will cherish deeply and forever.
