Patient & Congenial With Heart For Special Needs

Responds within a few days

I've worked with kids as far back as high school and recently took it on as a serious career. Having just completed a very intense contact with a tween severely on the spectrum and with some emotional disturbances, I have come to feel validated that I truly have the patience and personality for this type of work. Currently, I'm serving as an in-class aide to a toddler with some impulse control. I hope to formally complete some ABA and related coursework to continue to work with children with daily challenges and special needs but in the meantime I'm really valuing my hands on education and experience. I have found that this line of work is so rewarding and that I'm constantly learning about humanity from these kids. My other childcare experience includes soccer coaching, tutoring and being a manny.

My goal is to provide safety, respect and dignity, and integration into the community (as well as FUN of course!) I'm experienced in assisting with ADLs, positive behavior reinforcement and redirection, therapies, communication devices and equipment, and my favorite- inclusion in the community.

Part-time Special Needs Caregiver

Most of my experience with special needs children comes from caring for my two autistic cousins. Both are very low functioning, the youngest of the two cannot talk at all, and occasionally has bathroom accidents. I have been caring for them whenever my aunts need it, and have done so for most of their lives. Now they are both preteens. In the past I have professionally worked with one high functioning autistic boy, 9 years old. Picking him up from school, and getting him excited to finsih his homework before mom came home. I have also spent several years as a volunteer at the Manalapan Special Recreation Center, where I led mentally disabled children in games, sports, and arts & crafts. I am extremely patient, understanding, and loving. I understand how much hard work is involved in caring for our special loved ones and I would be thrilled to help any family in need of assistance.

I pride myself in being reliable, efficient, flexible and dedicated and can provide excellent references to that regard.

Live-In Postion CNA

Responds within a few days

Hello, my name is Fernando and I have been a Nursing Assistant since 2010. Care giving to some extent comes naturally to me. When I was younger my great grandmother who was blind would come to visit and I would be right there by her side helping her get around. Fast Forward to 2010, I got my first job in a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in North Carolina. I was able to gain a great deal of experience from that job as it had acute, long-term, and Alzheimer's care. About 2yrs later I began working at a continuing care facility. I then moved to Atlanta, GA, and worked at an assisted living community where I was quickly promoted to be a Med Tech. While working there I decided to work with patients in their 30's with special needs, privately. In 2018, I was given the opportunity to become a live-in caregiver in Los Angeles to a patient in their 90's. Come May 1st my hrs with them will go down to 28 a week. If you are looking for an experienced caregiver look no further.

Loving Nanny Looking For A Long Term Family!

Responds within a day

I've always had a place in my heart for caring for kids with special needs. I went to an elementary school where half of the kids had different forms of special needs. There, I assisted in one-on-one supervision in the pool. As I got older, I started babysitting my cousin who has Cerebral Palsy. I learned a lot about her needs and how to assist her to best fit her needs. My younger sister has had type one diabetes for the past six years, so I've assisted her with shots and checking blood sugar levels.

Hi There!

So looking forward to meeting you! I have lots of experience in caregiving from under 3mo, through to the elderly, and special needs.

Reviewed by Stephanie J. Dec 2020 5/5 stars

Kallah is absolutely incredible, we love her so much! Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their children, I really can't say enough good things about her. She worked with out son S (he's 6) who has motor and processing disabilities. She is kind, patient, fun, and always had innovative ways to keep S engaged and moving forward. We even noticed that S was walking better a few weeks into Kallah starting to care for him. Turns out that she'd come up with a way to encourage him to walk on his own more, and it had an immediate and lasting impact on his progress. Our daughter doesn't have any disabilities and it two years older, she would spend half the afternoon with Kallah and S most weekdays and she loved Kallah just as much as S did. Kallah did meal prep, feeding, taking to and from physical therapy and speech therapy appointments, play dates, games, homework, naps, administered medicine, and was generally an amazing addition to our family.
