Leesburg Special Needs Care

I am a well-educated, professional woman who enjoys assisting families with a wide array of functions. My reference as a Personal Assistant is stellar, supporting a family of six with child care, cooking, errands, organizing projects, house cleaning, and animal care. I am fit, enthusiastic, funny, and very responsible. It is my goal to exceed the expectations of my clients. Presently, I assist with the Air BNB on the farm where I reside, it must be left clean and sparkling for our guests, as they leave reviews, my record is perfect. I had a successful career leading youth organizations with expertise in at-promise children and teens. In 2012, I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America where I trained as a chef. I lost my job secondary to Covid in May. I started a small business as a vendor at the Leesburg Saturday Farmers Market this past month offering artisan sandwiches. I am looking to augment that business with an income from supporting families in my community.

I am a professional caregiver/assistant, paying attention to details, while also being playful, friendly and fun to have around. I have worked with a few different families in the area over the past several years caring for children between the ages of 18 months and 14 years old- from one beautiful 18-month-old girl, to adorable 18-month-old twin boys, to a 6year old with special needs, to a family with four amazing girls 9 yrs old through 14 yrs old, to a wonderfully active family with twin 9-year-old girls, to a 11yr old boy and 14yr old girl who I cooked dinner for nightly. I enjoy reading to children, playing sports, games & being outdoors. I enjoy arts & crafts. I love to cook and I am a pastry chef. I adore animals. I am also happy to run errands, do grocery shopping, pick up dry cleaning, etc.

Five years ago, when I first became a caregiver and assistant to those with special needs, I was more nervous and uneasy than you could ever imagine! In my mind I was stuck on "not knowing how to act around people with special needs." But, then I finally realized I was missing the most important word in that phrase - people. People are people and each person has the same basic needs - care, love, comfort, shelter, food, and joy. So I made it my goal to meet those needs and while reaching that goal I fell in love. Never have I ever had such a rewarding job in all my life. Since that nervous beginning five years ago, I have been abundantly blessed with many years of caring for my dear friends with physical and mental difficulties. The love in my heart has grown so much through my experience as a caregiver. I realize now the value of the trust and the relationship I have with those I care for, and I'm grateful. In my years of experience I have had many responsibilities and worked with many ranges of needs. I have assisted my special needs friends with showers, feeding, catheters, dressing, lifting, and behavioral difficulties.

I have worked for a year each in special education kindergarten, third and fifth grade classrooms. I am currently a substitute teacher in grades k-12 and special education. I have completed college classes in education and I have over 8 years of experience tutoring elementary aged students with special needs

I have grown up in a big family with a lot of younger siblings, and started babysitting for other families I knew through my church at 13. My youngest sibling, Asher, is 7, and has down syndrome so I learned CPR and basic emergency techniques when he was a baby so I could feel confident watching him alone. I love to help and care for others and I love feeling useful. I would love to help you feel at ease while you are away, I always like to ask questions on preferences and procedures when it comes to your home and child's safety, I hope you find I am the right fit for you.

I am a newly graduated registered nurse with years of experience as an EMT. I hold two bachelors degrees; one in Nursing and the other in Economics. I will be working full-time in the Emergency Room as a Nurse in August, but am looking for part-time work until then. I am fully vaccinated and follow COVID precautions.

Drove a School bus for 6 years and often subbed on special needs. Did a summer school session as an attendant on a special needs bus. Loved interacting much closer with the students

HI! I haven't had experience with children with special needs but I have taken a course at school learning about kids with special needs and I would love to expand my babysitting experience. If you are searching for a nanny please feel free to reach out!

I began watching children intermittently in 2014. During this time, I individually watched an 8-year-old autistic boy as well as working with disabled children through Therapeutic Riding, on a volunteer basis. I graduated high school and, after having to medically withdraw from school in 2017, I began working various jobs. Most recently I worked in adult healthcare, basically "adult babysitting" for recently sober or withdrawing addicts/alcoholics. Currently, I am sitting for a family of four - 2, 8, 10, and 11-on an as needed basis. I have a strong work ethic, and balance work life with my commitments of watching my young dog and caring for my two horses. I enjoy working with children and being able to see them grow and mature as individuals. I am hoping to find a more full-time childcare opportunity, as I find the work very rewarding. I hope to hear from you soon!

I have 10 years of experience as a professional in childcare. I have experience caring for children 0-12 as a teacher as well curriculum development and training. I have experience with special needs I can help with Light Housekeeping and Grocery Shopping etc.

I live in Leesburg and have spent my life involved and connected to the community. In high school, I was very involved and had many leadership roles including student council and DECA president. I am now a freshman in college and live in Leesburg doing remote learning. I take COVID very seriously and am looking for work while home. I have lots of experience working with children, including being a summer camp counselor and working at a kids gym. I am very flexible and available at all times. I also have experience with special needs children from volunteer work at Loudoun Therapeutic Riding and have the understanding and patience to help and work with children of all ages.

Hello! My name is Christi and I am currently in graduate school at Shenandoah University to become a Physician Assistant. I am looking for a job on the side to make some extra money to put towards my student loans that involves working with kids. I am interested in going into pediatric medicine upon graduation and have many years (5+) of experience working with kids as a babysitter and as a teachers aid with special needs children. I am ACLS/BLS certified and have taken courses in child resuscitation. I feel very comfortable with children and look forward to meeting you and your family!

As the oldest of 5 kids and my mother being a nanny for a lot of my upbringing, I have a lot of experience with kids. Now I have my own little 10-month-old and love being his mom. With COVID making things so difficult for working parents who are having to navigate schooling with their already demanding work schedules, I know that I can help ease that burden. I excelled in the teacher cadet program in high school and loved that experience. I also completed a course in early childhood education where I worked as a preschool teacher with Broad Run High School. Additionally, I graduated college with a Bachelor's in Marketing where I attended on scholarship and was accepted into a competitive program with only a 32% acceptance rate. Overall, I not only have ample experience in caretaking (including caregiving for a child with special needs) but also understand what it takes to foster a good learning environment. I'd love to meet you and your wonderful family!

I have 2 years of experience, have worked in 3 different houses, took care of a post recovery senior person, a special needs teenager and a paraplejic. I am not licensed but I can provide references from the 3 houses.

Hello My name is Dega, I'm a behavioral therapist . I have been working with seniors for the past 20 years. Currently I work with individuals with special needs . Im looking for weekend hours , if you are interested please reach out .

I am a very friendly and outgoing girl who loves and adores children, they are my passion. I hope to one day become a special needs counselor or child services worker. My experience with children includes working at a club as tennis youth instructor along with a recreation center for the past 4 years from ages 4-13. As for special needs children experience I have an autistic cousin who is high on the spectrum. I love being with him and seeing the world through his eyes, along with being able to have fun with him. I also help out with an autistic child at my church who is lower on the spectrum. Being goofy with him and sharing laughs makes my Sundays the best part of the weekend. I am only 17 years of age but I am willing to prove myself as a responsible hard worker when it comes to this job. I believe special needs children are just like any other children out there and can do anything they set their minds to. Their creativity and positivity reminds me of why I have a passion for children and keeps me smiling. Being able to help out families is my ideal goal and knowing I made a child happy makes my day.
