Special Needs For Special Needs!

Being someone who was born with hearing loss that I struggled with as a child, I know how frustrating and beautiful it can be to be different. I've worked with those with Aspergers, Parkinson's, Dementia, and many others both in the private care sector and in my personal life. My most recent long-term care job was with a little girl with psychogenic blackouts that was linked to her panic and anxiety disorders. I hope to hear from you and whoever it is that might need care so that I can help in whatever way possible.

Special Needs

As a counselor, I have dealt with multiple diagnosis from Asperger's, Bi-Polar, Anxiety/Agoraphobia, Depression, Psychosis, Dementia over 25+ years. While I was getting my Masters in Counseling, I lived with a woman that had MS for 2 years. I oversaw her medication, the HHA's that came into the home, shopped, did cleaning and cooking and other various tasks. I cared for clients with Stage 7 Alzheimer's, a woman who has Parkinson's and one with Depression and Complex PTSD. I was a Live in Caregiver for an 82 y/o gentlemen with Stage 7 Alzheimer's. Presently, back caring for my client with Parkinson's and a couple with many complex medical issues between the two of them. Apart from all of the above, I cared for my g'parents and my mom for 3 separate procedures. I work as a Senior Caregiver, but if the person is a young adult, I would be willing to consider that. I look forward to meeting you. Kind regards, Anne

Special Needs

I have worked with special needs students as a school bus driver for five plus years. I have had many different types of children in my care. I have worked with the elderly over 20 years now, and have taken care of many family members. My grandfather had Alzheimer's and my grandmothers both had cancer. I have also cared for four other elderly people and help in all ways within the household. I'm very happy when I can help people in need. I enjoy talking to them and listening to all their great stories and helping with all their needs.

As soon as I graduated high school in 2006, I just knew this is what I wanted to do. I had taken some classes with special needs kids and instantly fell in love with them. I was blessed to get hired at a major, major special needs high school as an instructional aide for 3 years. We trained the students on city transportation, job skills, all the way to feeding students, hygiene care, stretching and assisting them in all their needs. This job was amazing and I am now working on eventually get a moderate/severe education specialist credential. I even worked at a summer camp for 7 weeks, each week was either special needs young adults, children, or adults senior citizens. I am now teaching 6th grade. I love my students so much and can't imagine missing a day of work. I love ALL children, and will watch any of them. I don't have to watch special needs kiddos. I just have a special place in my heart for them. I really would love to watch any age.
