Mukilteo Special Needs Care

I started working with children when I was 12 yrs old babysitting for families at my church. I worked in a daycare and had the privilege of caring for a very sweet toddler with Down Syndrome. I fell in love with his big heart and the joy he brought to everyone around him. I knew from then on my heart was in working with children with special needs. I worked in elementary and middle schools as a para professional in the special needs department for 4 years. I've also worked in a group home with children and adults with developmental disabilities for 2 yrs. I'm currently working as an accounting clerk but would like to find a weekend position as in my life doesn't feel complete without some work with these special kiddos. I am also free for date nights during the week and can do overnights as well. I look forward to meeting you all! ~ Blessings, Laurie ~

Hello my Name is Nina, I've worked with children of all ages and some adults with special needs as well as autism and physically handicapped. I am very patient, caring and sensitive to the needs of those in my care. Music is therapy and touches the heart of those that are autistic and it's a joy to see! I was born and raised in the Bay Area of California. At a young age I had a love for dance, but I was unable to attend dance classes. After moving to Mukilteo, I married and raised my three children. I began taking dance classes here in Mukilteo. My background Is music rhythm and the arts. My other joy is working with children. I received my certificate in Early Childhood Education and taught in schools for over 20 years. I attended dance symposiums at the well known Anne Green Gilbert studio in Seattle. Her classes teach the importance of working the right and left brain. I have been with the Mukilteo Y for 11yrs. Certifications, CERT, CPR, First aid, Aed. WSI, ECE

Hi I'm an 18-year-old certified nursing assistant. I have been a caregiver for almost 7 months now taking care of the elderly. I would love to babysit or be a caregiver for children as well. I have had some training with children with special needs as I was a Mentor my sophomore year of high school. I love to color and do arts and crafts and read stories. Little kids love me and look up to me and I love being there for them. I'm currently CPR and first aid certified. And I don't mind doing any light housework. I'm looking for a full time position. The only thing is I don't have a vehicle. But I'm willing to bus or walk if families are in close distance to where I live. Look forward to meeting you. I'm available during evenings since I have other work during the day

My name is Brandon and I am interested in working with your family. I am an aspiring pediatric physical therapist and I have been working with children with special needs for eight, fun years. During the past summers, I worked at a summer camp for children with special needs. I am regarded as one of the top camp counselors for many years. I believe that this is due to my attention to detail, ability to communicate with the child and family, as well as passion for children. In addition, I am CPR/First-Aid certified and I have background in early childhood education and special education. I am familiar with strategies for positive reinforcement, PECS, challenging behaviors, and basic sign language. I have experience working with children with autism, cerebral palsy, sensory processing disorder, Asperger's, global delay, down syndrome, etc. My philosophy is to provide a positive, educational experience for individuals. Without judgment, I value individual differences and work on skills and strategies that are important to the individual and family. I look forward to hearing back from you! If you would like me to provide any references from past families that I have worked with at the summer camp, I would be more than happy to provide it.
