Culver City Special Needs Care

Hi! My name is Anabelle and I am 19 years old. I have been working with kids since I was 13, started doing overnights and live in work when I was 16, and have worked with special needs kids since I was 15. I absolutely love crafts, baking, and being in the outdoors. I am a Red Cross Certified Lifegaurd, as well as have my Red Cross CPR certification. I've worked with all ages and have no preference and I am a huge animal lover so pets of any kind are welcomed.

I have been caring for children for most of my life. My college degree emphasizes all areas of child development. I have extensive experience with newborns and toddlers. I have taught in a preschool, preschool for autism, elementary schools, church classes for children, organized/led youth group activities. I have experience with twins, siblings, special needs and even special medical circumstances (feeding tubes). I am CPR experienced and love having adventures when with children: exploring parks, swimming, library classes, children's museums etc. I now am blessed with a child of my own born in April 2019. I am looking to care for another child in my home or yours and provide a loving environment of learning, happiness and safety. I believe in kindness, honesty, playing, respect, communication, commitment, silly songs, reading lots of books and healthy snacks :)

*I am currently available as an occasional weeknight/weekend sitter.* Hello! I have watched and cared for children for essentially my whole life, whether it was my own siblings, neighborhood children or families from church. While in college, I cared for children of many different families in my neighborhood, as well as teaching Sunday school at church for toddlers and nursery time for babies. I come from a family of five children, my youngest brother being severely handicapped, because of this I am a very attentive sitter and feel more than comfortable caring for children with special needs. I enjoy all aspects of childcare including arts/crafts, helping with homework and reading bedtime stories. I also cook healthy homemade meals, clean and am willing to do odd jobs/errands if needed! When I'm not working or helping with kids you can catch me biking/running at the beach or spending time with my nieces :)

I have my AA degree from Santa Monica College for children with special needs. I worked in a classroom with children with special needs for 6 months. I did floor time and created intervention plans.

I am a certificated teacher specialist for special needs population. I taught self-help, social, behavioral, academic skills, and enrichment activities to students, ages 3 years to adult. I taught special needs classes (mild/moderate/severe) in which disabilities included autism, developmental disabilities, mental retardation, multi-handicapped, and emotionally disturbed. I enjoyed teaching am I am very compassionate and devoted. However, I left teaching to care for my then 84-year-old parent, who was diagnosed with dementia and other complications.

I am a recent new graduate form UC Davis Betty Irene School of Nursing. I have completed my pediatric hours at Kaiser and adult care clinical hours at a skilled nursing facility working with patients across the spectrum from independent living, skilled nursing assistance, end of life care, and memory care. During this time I managed to provide nutrition, exercise, medication and health management education. I have previously worked as a care taker providing basic care like bathing, meal prepping, transportation, medication management, and being a companion for my clients. I am a licensed RN by state of California as of March 2020 but have not been able to find a job at a hospital due to COVID-19 which has caused some delay in new graduate nurses being hired. I believe in compassionate patient centered care that allows patients to remain as independent as possible while managing their care.

I am a friendly and energetic nanny with a diverse background in childcare experience. Additionally, I volunteer at Camp Care -a camp for people with disabilities of all ages- as a counselor and morning aerobics teacher for every year since 2016 (with the exception of 2020). Camp Care provided me with an incredible experience as responsibilities ranged from assisting in art projects, music, sports, and encouraging positive behaviors to create a fun and exciting environment at a sleep-away camp in Lake Tahoe! Responsibilities also included assisting in campers with personal care such as medication, routines, and personal hygiene.

I have been nannying and babysitting most my life! I have 10+ years of experience and definitely feel most myself being in a care-giving role. I have had the privilege of caring for families with twins and special needs children along with households with 5+ kids. I am also used to doing light housework, cooking, and running errands. I am fun, caring, creative, and adventurous and love putting smiles on kids' faces!

Hello! My name is Gozelda. I have taught and cared for individuals with special needs for the past 25 years, ages 3 years through adult, having mild, moderate to severe needs. I hold a special education teacher specialist credential. I left the classroom to care for my elderly mother who became ill with dementia and other illnesses (stroke, and diabetes). I cared for her under IHSS for 5 years and subsequently volunteered at the long-term care facility where she was a resident after she became too ill to remain at home. I am very caring and patient. I have a positive attitude, and am a person who cares about making a difference in someone's life by bringing joy and care. I have a wonderful rapport with children, adults and seniors. I am anxious to continue contributing my experience and expertise to families and individuals needing assistance. I am passionate about having an active part in helping to make the lives of individuals as comfortable and meaningful as possible.

I love the differently abled and seniors. I have over 10 years experience with both populations I hope you will be able to choose me from your list . thanks again.

Taking care of children has always been natural for me due to my patience, responsibility, and fun energy that kids love to be around. I've watched babies as young as four months and teenagers up to 16 years old with special needs. Along with my babysitting and nannying experience, I've also volunteered at elementary schools and middle schools, tutoring children and young teenagers. My goal is to obtain a regular, long term nanny position that prefers a professional, reliable and flexible nanny and/or babysitter. Services encompass complete care including transportation to and from after school and extracurricular activities, cooking, light cleaning, assistance with homework and general care and monitoring. EMT Certified. B. A. Criminal Justice.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Science of education. I worked as a teacher in different schools during my career and after it and was a volunteer in a school for people with special needs. I also have experience of 2 years as a babysitter.

Hello ! My name is Katie. I was born and raised in Palos Verdes, California with my four siblings. I am a responsible young adult who is both organized and persistent. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I have been working with children who have autism since the last couple of years. I know developmental activities and more!

Hi there! If you are looking for a caretaker, nanny, or babysitter who is passionate, experienced, and well-read, I am excited to be that person for you! I have been babysitting for 10 years and have paid experience working with children with a wide variety of special needs for five of those years. In my psychology program at UCLA, I learned deeply about child, adolescent, and abnormal psychology. I am proud to boast that I have been the favorite sitter of dozens of children and parents - I hope to be yours, too!

I am a certified teacher who just relocated to California. I am experienced in working with all emergent learners, including those with learning differences. I have a Masters in Elementary Education and currently work as a education consultant while pursuing my love of writing educational picture books. In my tenure as a teacher I worked with students along the spectrum, with ADHD/ADD, and students with learning differences. I don't like to call them 'disabilities' because all students learn differently and can succeed given the needed supports.

I had experience volunteering with Special Needs children in school in my home country. Especially children on the spectrum. I also had an experience with a 8 years old boy in the spectrum

I have attended 2 programs at the Autism Institute of America, I have trained in the Lindamood-Bell Reading Program. I prefer working one- on-one with all Children. I have been involved in this work for 10 years. My approach with all teaching is joining, being very supportive and having fun.

My mother is a teacher and works with children on the Autism spectrum. I grew up spending many hours in her classroom while she worked and hung out with her students all the time. By the time I was in high school I was regularly volunteering and tutoring in her classroom and babysitting for some of her students at their homes. I feel very comfortable working with children who have behavioral issues or on the Autism spectrum and thoroughly enjoy spending time with children.

I have a vast 25 years experience caring for Expecting moms, infants, toddlers, teenagers and older adults in various assignments such as babysitting, nanny, housekeeping, after school programs, special needs care, Autistic and Mental Health conditions. I am CNA/CHHA/MA/CPR, First Aid Certified, AED and MAB Certified. Have both Acute Care and Home setting experience and continue to take 48 hours every year to keep my skills proficient through the Sacramento Nursing Board classes. I know how to keep any family members in my care safe, ensuring privacy and dignity.

Hello, I'm Melissa. I am CPR, AED, and First aid certified. I am the oldest of 3 and my youngest sister is special needs so I am comfortable with them. I am studying to become an english/music teacher. I also used to work in a climbing gym with an interactive kids area so I am comfortable being active with children of all ages.
