Forney Special Needs Care

I am a certified teacher. I am certified in special education EC-12 and as a generalist grades EC-6 and 4-8. I have experience working with learning disabled students, autism, ADD/ADHD, behavior challenged students and elderly citizens. I am passionate about caring for special populations because I believe everyone deserves a chance to a quality education, help with developing socially and adapting to meet one's own personal needs.

Hi, my name is Jordan. I have a wide range of experience with children. I have experience working with children who range in age from newborn to 18 years of age, multiples, and children with special needs. I have nannied for 10 years, worked as a camp counselor for a special needs camp, worked as a behavioral therapist for autistic kids and coached high school volleyball. I graduated from the University of Oregon in 2014 with a degree in Psychology and emphasis on Child Development. During my time in college I took classes that focused on children such as child, social and cognitive development. I have nannied for multiple families where I supervised and cared for children of various ages. I implemented and maintained. I am responsible, caring, trustworthy and always on time. I am comfortable with pets, have my own reliable transportation, have a clean background and driving record.

I'm a college graduate with 10+ years of experience with multiples and kiddos from different ages, backgrounds and special needs. I am CPR/BLS certified as well as a Certified Nurse Assistant who is returning to school to pursue nursing. As an active person, I incorporate that energy by making games, activities, crafts and sports a huge part of our time spent together-I also enjoy being outdoors, going on little field trips and finding new places to explore. While fun is always a must, I am firm, yet encouraging. I am extremely comfortable caring for infants, feeding, changing, bathing, tummy time, going for walks, etc. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I am ready to help out where I can.

I have experience caring for adults of all ages, particularly within the special needs community. I am comfortable helping individuals with personal hygiene/diapering, making meals, assisting with feeding, housework, and running necessary errands. I transitioned from the legal field into care giving because I have a heart for helping others.

I have experience caring for adults of all ages who have physical and/or cognitive impairments resulting from conditions such as Down Syndrome and autism. Most recently, I worked at Achievement Center of Texas in Garland. My duties included hygiene assistance/diapering, meal preparation and feeding assistance, mobility assistance, providing compassionate companionship, conflict prevention and resolution between clients, and complying with HIPPA and state laws governing neglect, abuse, and exploitation of the elderly and those with special needs. I left a lucrative career in the law to pursue caregiving. I genuinely enjoy helping those who need assistance in a personal, direct way. I can honestly say transitioning from the legal field to helping the special needs community was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I enjoy helping both children and adults of all abilities. With over 3 years of carving experience I can easily say helping others achieve their individualistic goals brings me joy!

First I am a mother and I know how important this role is. I have babysat children since I was a teenager which was a few decades ago. I have taken care of my special needs niece. I have always loved children and animals. I am very dependable and trustworthy. I worked as a business administrator at the same dental office in Dallas for over 17 years. I now want a change. I hope I get a chance meet you!

I have loved working with children of all ages since the moment I took my first babysitting job at the age of 12. Since then I have worked with an array of children from ages 2 months to 13 and I've worked with special needs children. I have been a nanny for two families. With both families I was responsible for transportation to and from various activities, light to heavy housekeeping, I assisted with homework and ensured each child was well taken care of and safe. I have worked in other fields and nothing has ever given me fulfillment the way child care does. Being a nanny is something you have to enjoy doing and I definitely enjoy it. I would love to find a family I can blend with.

I have a younger brother with a lot of mental health issues. He's special needs and I have been responsible for taking care of him since he was young. I've learned how to de-escalate situations and how to respond to a child with special needs properly. I also have experience with non special needs children. I have routinely babysat my cousins two young children (7, 3) over the years. I love working with children and watching them grow. My favorite thing to do is bring crafts or read books with the children! I enjoy throwing in fun and learning together.

For the past 6 years I have provided nurturing care for 5 children aging from infancy through teenage years 10-12 hours per day for a busy Pediatrician family. My responsibilities include Managing day to day activities for the family including but not limited to educational related events, assisting with tutoring, field trips, family vacations, sporting events, errands, shopping for family, play dates and doctor' s appointments as needed. Prepare meals and perform light housekeeping, organizing family chores in a manner that would be fun but efficient in order to maintain cleanliness, order and overall well-being for the children on a daily basis. Also responsible for 24-hour care for all 5 children when parents are traveling for work. Prior to that, I worked with special needs children in home healthcare settings and in pediatric office settings. I have an energetic, positive attitude. I work hard, play hard and make sure every child that comes into my presence feels loved.
