Suffolk, VA Special Needs Adult Care

Hi there! I'm the oldest of 3 siblings and 16 cousins. I took a babysitting course at 14 and have been caring for kids ever since. When I moved to SC, I became a Teaching Assistant at a school for children with severe and multiple disabilities. This position included feeding, changing, transferring and positioning as well as education. During my time in FL, I worked as a Paraprofessional in a self contained elementary school classroom and spent my after school time nannying for a young girl with special needs and a toddler. The Navy has brought us to VA and I'm loving it here! I love learning, being silly, staying active and exploring all of the indoor and outdoor things that Hampton Roads has to offer. I can be happy reading a book, playing a board game or taking a walk at a park. I have a passion for art and love to bake so I am known to come up with crafts or a treat to make with the children I care for. I look forward to meeting you and making fun memories with your kids!

Hello, my name is Junacie and I am currently serving on my 5th year in the military. The experience I have with disability care comes specifically from having my father in a vegetative state. He had a aneurysm in 2014 and has been in that state ever since. Apart from having the basic CNA tasks experience, I have cared for children for about 5 years now. I've also cared for children with cognitive disabilities and speech impairments. I am compassionate for what I do in every way. I know that the care I give is what I would want someone to give to my father. I consider myself a responsible person and I have several references. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Looking forward to meeting you!

Mother of 3 boys. I enjoy helping people big, small, young and young at heart. I have experience with youngsters from my own and in my younger years. My more recent care experience is with more aged individuals for the last 9 years. I've worked with Long term care, Hospice, Dementia/Alzheimer's, Special needs, Skilled/Therapy and last but not least Companion -in home care. I've helped with ADL's, which includes bathing, feeding, transfers, dressing, changing, etc. I've cooked, cleaned, provided an ear, a shoulder, comfort, and a smile. Most of the care I have provided has been in a nursing home setting, which I enjoyed immensely and learned a great deal, but I felt it was missing something. I didn't have the time to actually hang out, chat, visit and get to know my residents/patients. I felt I couldn't truly do my job the way I believed it needed to be done.
