Issaquah Special Needs Care

I am currently persuing a career in nursing- finishing my prereqs and looking to expand my experience before working in a SNF. I was drawn to caregiving by a nurturing and patient nature. I have worked with patients following MDS, with cerebral palsy, dementia, autism spectrum disorder, down syndrome and Alzheimer's. My experience includes cooking, dietary adjustments, administering medication, bathing, house cleaning, incontinent care/assistance and physical therapy assistance. I'm a positive and outgoing person that enjoys enriching the lives of those I work with.

As an experienced child care professional, I would like to utilize my skills such as patience, care-taking ability and self-motivation in taking care of every child by providing good supervision in a disciplined way. I would also take special care or children who need special attention. I have worked with special needs children as a para-educator for the School District for the past 13 years. I love taking care of special needs children along with typical children.

I have a degree in Special Education as a teachers aide. I have worked with adults with developmental disabilities finding jobs for them. I have also worked with children with autism and developmental disabilities.

I volunteered at elementary schools in high school, for my leadership class and after graduation I proceeded to obtain my Paraprofessional Certificate and CPR, AED and overall First Aide training/certificate. Which has allowed me to work with our local school district as an Instructional Aide, Campus Monitor and ASES team member. I worked at a local elementary school, where I filled a number of roles, for example, I watched kids out at recess and during lunch hours and when I was working in the class rooms with the kids I assisted with teaching and helping with classwork. The after school program, ASES, I assisted with child safety and development, along with primary skills and homework. I am going to school to obtain my BSN for Nursing. Alongside that I also volunteer my time, teaching a painting class at Fresno Community Hospital, teaching patients in the Burn Unit how to paint. I have a reliable car and would consider myself a reliable person.

I am currently working for a family that has a 4-year-old daughter who is on the autism spectrum. The bond and trust that continues to grow between us is a source of real satisfaction for me. I hope to be in her life for a long time.

I was a Medical Assistant for 15 yrs with experience in CPR and First Aid. As a Daycare provider I worked with an Autistic child and a young lady that had Down Syndrome. Today I take care of a 6 yr old Autistic child. I have been doing that for the last 3 months.

I am an RBT/CBT at a private blended academy in Issaquah - currently displaced for 6 weeks as per Gov. Inslee's mandate. I've worked as a nanny with two different families from '15-'17: a family of 6 with 4 children ages 1. 5-13 yo and a single parent with a 2 yo child. I've volunteered as a teacher's assistant at elementary schools for 5+yrs and am a former children's aikido instructor's assistant. I have experience working 1:1 with children with developmental delays, behavioral needs, ASD, and those who are nonverbal and/or learning to functionally communicate. I am comfortable providing 1:1 care and support at your home in the community. Please contact me if you'd like more information or a copy of my resume!

My experience includes taking care of physically and mentally disabled people. I worked with elderly stroke victims, helped with bathroom needs, showering/bathing, brushing teeth, getting dressed and making meals. I was also a camp counselor working with children ages 3-17. All had different disabilities, such as ADD, speech deficits, muscular dystrophy, fetal alcohol syndrome and many more. I maintained their daily care, showering/bathing, brushing teeth, dressing and any cleaning/cooking duties. My current special needs experience is at a center for children with autism.

I have worked as a care provider for two youths in wheelchairs, for two separate families. I am caring and compassionate and understanding of their alter abled lifestyles. My tasks to assist included operating various machines promptly to ensure the safety of a child with spinal muscular atrophy who was dependent on a cough assist, breathing apparatus, and food bag. Housework included dusting, laundry, garbage, sweeping, mopping, dish washing, meal prep, folding clothes, organizing medical supplies.
