Weekend/Date Night Experienced Special Needs Caregiver

I've enjoyed working within the special needs community for several years. I began my career 14 years ago as a one-on-one assistant for a young girl with Hurler syndrome. Over the year that I assisted her, I grew very close with her and her family. She was a truly special person and our relationship sparked a passion to work with the special needs community. In 2009-2011, I worked for the Head Start Program as a Behavior Support Person. I'm attending school pursuing a teaching degree and will only be available for part-time work. Summer time I'm available full-time. I enjoy spending time with children and love working close with families to ensure a happy and healthy environment. I have worked with children ranging from preschool to adulthood in various classroom and community settings. I also have experience caring for infants and toddlers as well.

I worked as a Medical Social Worker for years with children and families with special needs, and prior to that as a Mental Health Therapist with both youth and adults. Sudden hearing loss several years ago interrupted my ability to work in my profession, but I'm still a social worker at heart and have maintained my LCSW license all these years. I hear adequately in a quiet environment and know some ASL. I have a love of people of all ages and bring a lot to the table. I'm patient, positive, empathetic and humorous. Am seeking part time work close to my home in SW Portland to give back and utilize some of my gifts.

Licensed SPED Teacher With A Love For Puzzles!

I am a licensed SPED teacher with a PK-12 endorsement. I really enjoy working with "tricky" children who may need a little extra support with behavior. I tend to focus on social and emotional growth as key part of my job and helping children navigate their world and self awareness. I firmly believer in using positive behavior supports and only use negative reinforcement or punishments when seems absolutely necessary. I believe every behavior of a child has a need and we can figure out what your child's behavior means together and teach a more appropriate way to meet their needs. I can tutor in math and reading using a variety of different strategies that are tailored to your kiddo! I have experience with a variety of non neurotypical children ranging from learning disabilities, autism, the sensory seeking child, emotionally disturbed, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, and several more. I have worked with children ages 0-16 and both severe and mild situations.

Dependable, Trustworthy, Patient And Caring Nanny Seeking A Wonderful Family

Responds within a day

I am a cheerful, positive and respectful person. I pride myself on my integrity and honesty. I adore spending time with children and have 15 years of experience working with children of all ages (newborns, infants, toddlers, school age and even teenagers) and also have experience caring for children with special needs. I am someone who loves the outdoors and believes that too much TV is never a good thing. Playing outside, playing games and encouraging children to use their imagination (via play and/or reading) is something that I am passionate about. Not only am I patient, caring and nurturing, I am also extremely organized and very detailed when it comes to housework. I actually enjoy tidying up while the children are napping or playing.

Creative & Consistent Helper

Responds within a few days

Hello! Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have provided engaging, consistent childcare to families in need of extra support. Preceding my work as a nanny, I worked in a myriad of youth development positions. Specifically, I served as an ABA therapist for children living with Autism, a 1-on-1 aid in special needs classrooms, a horticultural/wilderness guide for struggling teens, and summer camp counselor, and a private cello teacher. In all of my work, I bring a creative passion and a patient, grounded perspective that inspires growth and joy. As a nanny, I highly value open and supportive communication with parents and guardians. In regards to supporting household needs, I am dedicated to maintaining a clean space and providing healthy, beautiful meals to those in my care (I love getting the kids involved in cooking projects, too!). I hope that you will consider the opportunity to work together, and I look forward to connecting soon. Warmly, Vlasis

"V" was a wonderful addition to our family and we now consider him part of our extended care network. He is a skilled communicator, patient, empathetic and creative. He really invested in getting to know our son's unique personality and kept a regular, open line of communication with us so we were always united in reinforcing positive behavior and family values. V is great at organizing age-appropriate projects that help children feel ownership while they develop skills. I'm happy to be a reference for any family considering whether to hire V.

Thank you for viewing my profile! I am looking for weekend and weekday evening caretaking jobs to finance visiting my family more often. I come from a tight knit family with two sisters and loving parents. I have been babysitting since I was 11 years old! I have cared for families having up to five kids, am CPR/first aid certified, and have experience with children with special needs. I believe that part of a babysitting gig is cleaning up prior to the parent(s) coming home. You will never come home to an unclean house, under my care. I am more than willing to help children with their homework, change diapers, do house work, care for pets, read to children or with them, play all kinds of games indoors and outdoors, and prepare meals. During the week I am an Operations & Policy Analyst for The Center for Health Statistics.

Claire did incredibly caring for my son during the 2020 school break and summer. All of the art, writings, and creativity that was shared during this time can be found throughout our home. She met my fluctuating schedule and communicated availability well in advance. Screen time was limited and they spent time outside daily walking to the nearby park fields. I would recommend her to anyone.
