Kiley G.|San Diego, CA

$15-40/hr • 10 yrs exp • 26 yrs old

Special Needs Care Provider - ASD, DS, Non-Verbal Experience

I find care for those with special needs to be incredibly fulfilling. I volunteered at a therapeutic riding center on and off for many years. This has given me experience with a variety of special needs individuals from all age groups. My experience began with care for my 50-year-old great aunt with DS. This sparked my passion for this type of care. I have since worked for a family of 3 children including a 6-year-old with developmental delays, served as a PCA for an individual with a severe neuromuscular degenerative disorder, provided respite care for an individual with brain damage, and have cared for children and adults with various levels of disability. I have experience with feeding tubes, ADL assistance, bathroom/shower assistance, aggressive behavior, and nonverbal communication. I have significant experience with children on the Autism spectrum. I can provide assisted swim, assisted skiing, range of motion, and help reaching other therapeutic goals.

Special Needs Children Hold A Huge Part In My Heart And I Have Grown Up Watching Over Many.

I have two special needs siblings, one that has a autism and another with a MTHFR mutation. I have always had a sort of skill on helping with children with special needs, resulting in the majority of my babysitting gigs being for special needs children. I nannied a boy with fetal alcohol syndrome for many years alongside taking up the role of taking care of my brother with the MTHFR mutation. I have been told by parents that I am able to communicate and connect with their special needs child in a way they have not seen before. I hold this close to my heart, special needs children will always be my passion. One of my main goals in life is to help a child with special needs have an easier life with their circumstances.

Grace often watched over my special needs brother. He burns through caretakers quickly but Grace demonstrated patience and had innovative ways of caring for him. He remained safe, and well cared for. Grace was punctual, responsible, and integrity in her dealings. I would recommend anyone with a difficult child to interview her.

I love playing games, puzzles, cards, chatting, and going on walks to the park. I was in food sales as well, so cooking is definitely a passion especially baking.

Haley is a rock star! She has supported our two boys (one special needs, ADHD/IED) with distance learning two days a week. Haley has a very calming and direct presence and has done an excellent job keeping our two kids on task and working at their level.
