Leesburg Special Needs Child Care

All my life since High School, I have worked for special needs families, either as a caregiver, a camp leader, a peer tutor, a Big Sister, a classroom aide, teacher, tutor, or diagnostician. I find that the unique pattern of strengths and needs that these children possess help reflect how the world treats them, and when we treat with love and kindness, they respond likewise. I have always striven to listen to their complaints, motivations, needs, and goals while trying to decipher where their strengths and needs are to best learn how to work with them. Once establishing a thorough understanding of just who they are inside, it is a lot easier to develop a meaningful relationship so our work together can accomplish the goals we set out to accomplish together. Just to listen, patiently and reflectively, has helped me considerably when working with all my students, not just those in special education.

My most recent job in January and February involved helping out a HS student with online zoom. She has motor and speech disabilities so I was her communicator as well as after school tutor to ensure all homework & assignments were turned in. I also helped her shower, get dressed and go to the bathroom. I have over a year of experience as an EMT. I am also certified in CPR and first aid. I am going to NSU in Fort Myers in Mid May where I will earn my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. I am looking for full time work from now until April/May.

I'm a retired special needs school teacher, who has worked with a variety of student with different ranges of disabilities such as social, emotional, academic and behaviorally issues. Being consistent, compassionate and patience are my strong areas. I 55 just retired in June and I feel I still have a lot of energy and enthusiasm to work with children.. just not full-time. I'm athletic. artist and enjoy doing just about anything.. well I cant put musically talented in that category. I have tutored, mentored, coached and provided respite for families. I feel, through my teaching experiences of 34 years, there are many skills that a person must have in order to work with a special needs student's, one I believe is my ability to listen and have clear and consistent expectations for a child, and never expect the same response will occur twice. I believe everyday is a new day.
