Monroe Special Needs Child Care

I have experience working in a group home for adults with special needs, and children with special needs as well.

I am a former therapeutic foster parent and adult caregiver (Alternate Family Living Provider) for a total of 14 years. I have experience working with children with behavioral issues and autism. As a foster parent, I had ongoing training in all areas of caring for children with special needs, including medication administration. I am a caregiver by nature as I thoroughly enjoy meeting the needs of others. I am compassionate, but understand how to provide structure while engaging with those in my care. I like to play games, read, go on outings, walks, etc. I look forward to caring for your loved one!

I've had the great experience of working with special needs children for over 10 years. They bring such a special joy to my life. I must say, I have learned so much from them.

I possess 10+ years working with children, the last 6 directly with special needs children in a classroom environment. Developing classroom schedules including but not limited to implementing ISP goals as written by social workers for children with developmental disabilities. I worked closely with behavior specialists for implementing disciplinary goals and direction. I helped maintain safety within the classroom. I ran morning circle for special education teacher. I maintained log books and charts for measuring the children's progress. I also attended regular staff development days, team building and renewal of any and certificates of training. I truly enjoy working with children with developmental disabilities, teaching them to care for themselves and assisting them in developing to their maximum potential. It is my heart's passion.

Hello my name is Nadia. I have been a CNA for the last four years. I worked in long-term and short-term facilities. I have experience with almost every illness as far as Total dependence for feeding, bathing, walking, transferring and activities. I have experience also with blood sugars and with giving the proper insulin at the proper time and the amount.

HELLO!! My name is Martha having a sibling with an intellectual disorder I know the patience and love these children need. I know the strength they can have when upset. I also know the joy the feel when properly loved and taken care for. I am a non-smoker, have my own transportation. I speak read and write fluently in Spanish. I also play piano( im the music leader in two churches) I have taught children for about 3 years now and it's my passion. Your children have the opportunity to grow learning Spanish as a second language and even their favorite Disney melody on the piano. I will be sure to provide a safe environment for them to explore, grow and learn. I have the patience to love them for who they are. So rest assured that your children will be safe with me :)

I have worked with developmentally disabled children and adults as well as individuals with mental illnesses for 18 plus years.

I work at an elementary school as a substitute teacher twice a week. Majority of my days I work in the SAC classrooms, the self contained classrooms. With this experience I am comfortable working with children with autism, downs syndrome, wheelchair bound, nonverbal communication, etc. With my experience at the school I have found a new love of mine with working with special needs children and will be getting my masters in special education. I have also taken several classes in college about special education, how to teach/engage, etc.
