Suffolk Special Needs Adult Care

Hi there! As the oldest of 3 siblings and 16 cousins, I have been caring for children all my life. I took a babysitting course at 14 and have been doing it ever since. Before my recent move to Jacksonville, I was a Teaching Assistant at a school for children with severe and multiple disabilities ranging from age 6 to 21. It was truly the most special job and I can honestly say that it was a great place to go to work every day. This position included feeding, changing, transferring and positioning as well as education. I love learning, being silly, staying active and exploring all of the indoor and outdoor things that Jacksonville has to offer. I can be happy reading a book, playing a board game, checking out the zoo or taking a walk at a park. I have a passion for art and love to cook so I am known to come up with crafts or a treat to bake with the kids I care for. I look forward to meeting you and making fun memories with your kids!

I currently am a special needs assistant teacher looking to do part time care during summer. I am trained in ABA and handle with care.

Hi! I am a very active/athletic, outdoorsy, artsy, creative, and energetic person! I have 5 years experience of childcare for those with intellectual disabilities and with those placed within the autism spectrum. This has allowed me to think more strategically to keep children on their toes instead of them keeping me on mine! I am from a military family which has taught me cultural education, organization, and time sensitivity/management.

I am a positive energetic person. I enjoy nature. I love making people around me happy. I am very organized and I am able to multitask. I'm a great listener and good at problem solving. I am very reliable and easy going. I have children & have gained the ability to be patient. I have 20 years of experience with children & many years of experience with elderly and the disabled as well. I look forward into helping others each day possible.

My name is Aaron I've been working with children for over 20 years. I've been a daycare and teacher's assistant, a special needs provider, a counselor at the camps, a PCA, a private nanny. I am a certified veterinary assistant as well and I love being able to have the ability to make a difference in children's lives. Kids and animals are my heart and always will be.

I have worked with children for many years. I worked at a preschool with ages from infants to elementary school ages. I was a youth leader at my church working with ages 11-18. I have done babysitting for the family. I enjoy working with children. Although I have worked with primarily children I love working with people of all ages. I am going to school for Counselor Education with Specialization in School Counseling, M. S. and for my License in Profession Counseling (LPC). I love working with people and helping them in anyway that I can.

I have been working with the seniors and disabled for 10 years now. I am reliable and loving. I love working with the seniors because they have much wisdom and they are so lovable. I am currently enrolled at Tidewater Community College pursing a degree in Human Services with the hopes of owning and operating a senior care facility in the near future. I want to be that voice for those seniors who are alone and don't have anyone to advocate for them. I want to provide any and all services I can provide for them. I am dependable and I just love helping others. I will give my last to someone in need. I treat seniors as if they were my mother, grandmother, father or grandfather.

Full-time, Part-time, Relief Special Needs Caregiver My step-son had the following disabilities: Autism, sensory disorder, ADHD, trachea, g-tube, breathing issues, Cerebral Palsy, non-verbal and may other medical disabilities. He was evaluated to have the mind of 3 or 4-year-old when he was 12 years old. Through my interactions with my step-son, I learned to observe what others miss. I observe interactions, moods, tendencies and more. I was able to notice my son's behavior change when interacting with a particular home-nurse, I contacted the school with my suspensions and the school discovered video proof of child abuse. Everyone had given up on my son's abilities before I met him at 10. Essentially he was a 7-month-old baby in a 10-year-old body. In a year he was able to sit, walk and interact with the family. I pursed a Master in Teaching Special Education to understand what was said during IEP meetings, now I assist others understand IEPs.

I have been a teachers assistant for special needs children for 3 years. Yes, I am passionate about what I do because the children are near and dear to my heart.
