I love working with clients with special needs. I have over 7 years of paid experience working directly with clients. I've worked as a houseparent in a group home.

One of the best things about being a nanny is that I am lucky to be a part of a family team and help it run smoothly! I have never worked for a family that did not add something special to my life as well. I worked in daycare for 5 years during which time, not only did I acquire the 40 hours of training needed to work in Florida daycare, I earned an early childhood degree through vo-tech. I have raised 3 children of my own. I have experience with homeschooling and special needs care. I am a volunteer for Special Olympics here in Manatee County. I enjoy working with children, teaching them and reading to them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts. I am willing to play! I am always willing to do whatever the family needs me to do while at their home. I am honest and dependable and always head to work with a great attitude! I have great nanny family references as well as community references. I am open to all job opportunities. Sincerely, Ms Janet

I have 2 adult children (one with special needs) who I lovingly raised. I also have 2 grandchildren who I adore babysitting for. While my kids were growing up I volunteered in the schools regularly (grades K-8) to help enrich their education. When they graduated, my love of children led me to take a job at a Preschool. I got CPR certified and trained to work with children with a range of abilities and disabilities. I started as a teacher's assistant, helping children with language expansion, social skills, task execution and behavior management. I was later given the responsibilities of running the After School Program and substitute teaching. As Director of the After School Program I led educational games and group activities in a safe, nurturing, engaging environment. I took a refresher CPR course to prepare for my recent position as a PT Nanny. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with this sweet child and his family (until they relocated), and I look forward to more "nanny-ing"!

Hello, up until recently I was working for Day Kimball Hospital. I have worked here for the past 17 years until Oct 2014. I worked in several different departments including the intensive care unit, Emergency Room, Med/Surg, Birthing Center, Oncology, Neurology, and was also a Constant Attendant. My family has just recently relocated to Florida with my husband's company. Before this, while attending nursing school I worked as a Home Health Aide after I got my CNA license. Before this I did a lot of companion work with the elderly and special needs individuals. I am very patient, and compassionate and very concerned for my patients' well being and comfort! I specialize in Alzheimer's, down syndrome and traumatic brain injury. I also can provide light housekeeping and meal preparation.

I'm a mature, college educated woman living in Arlington. I have a warm, patient and caring nature. I have a lifetime of experience as a caregiver. I especially like working with seniors. My experience includes companion care, taking clients to the store and doctor appointments, light housekeeping and working with Meals on Wheels. My experience includes working with clients with mild Alzheimer/dementia, cancer, diabetes and blindness. My car is reliable. I have clear criminal and driving records.

I have extensive experience providing companionship and care giving to seniors as well as those with specialized needs, such as Dementia and Parkinson's disease. Services offered: general companion care, medication reminders , meal preparation , grooming assistance , transportation , errands , organization (bill paying, mail sorting) , home maintenance/handyman, light housekeeping, bathing, dressing, grooming, ambulation assistance , toileting , incontinence , transportation (medical), feeding and special diet. I also have experience with a Hoyer lift, feeding pump, Bi-Pap respiratory system, ventilator, cough assist, and suction.

I have worked with kids and adult with special needs for years . My younger sister has ADHD and she is the most happiest little girl . Im comfortable with all ages. Let me know your needs and I will try my best to accommodate them.

For several years, I have volunteered and worked for families and individuals with special needs. During the summer, I worked at a Cerebral Palsy camp, while I was in college. This position involved: feeding, bathing, toileting, and transfers. Plus, I assisted with daily therapy and outdoor activities. Later, I worked as a live-in caregiver for a quadriplegic man. He received total care as he was unable to move from the neck down. More recently, I assisted a young man with Angelman Syndrome. Most of my care for him was in the evenings in his family's home. This type of care was similar to the care provided at C. P. camp mentioned above. I also transported him in a wheelchair for outings and daycare. At home, he used a walker with my assistance. Lastly, my brother has Multiple Sclerosis. Over the past 2 years, he has lost most of his mobility. So, he requires a lot of assistance. When I am in town, I performed a lot of the duties for his care. So, I feel a lot of empathy for those families who have loved ones with special needs. Plus, I can't express the amount of love and joy I have received from those whom I have cared for.

18 years ago, I was introduced to the special needs world. I understand the highs and low, and the challenges as a family one can experience. I have 18 years experience with my own daughter who is diagnosed with Autism, blindness, intellectual disability, gastro, uro and pulmonary issues. I have g-tube and teach experience. I am just a special needs mama that wants to help another special needs mama not feel so alone or unable to experience a trip or event.

I have worked as a residential aide for elderly and memory care clients in a residential facility. I have served them their lunch and dinner, helped with hygiene and giving showers. I have helped dress and undress clients as well as helped with going to the bathroom and getting them into bed. I have children with ADD and ADHD and a grandson who has asperger's syndrome so I am very well familiar with these syndromes.

Hello! I am Anyssa and I have been a Special Education teacher in Massachusetts for 6 years! I recently got a job, here in Florida, and re-located to the Sarasota area. I would love to chat with you about my experience and how I could be a great fit for your family's needs! I am looking forward to meeting new families :)

I love my special needs clients, students, sweet children! I was a camp counselor for Dream Oaks Camp as a teen, which inspired me to work as a teacher where I gained more experience with special needs children. Last year I had my own self contained class and they were fabulous. I have such a heart for those with special needs. They teach me so much. Looking forward to meeting your family!
