San Jose Special Needs Care

I was a paraeducator and intern teacher in moderate/severe special education settings for just over 5 years, until I decided to go back to school and pursue a certificate in Early Childhood Education with a Program Director specialization. In the future, I hope to open a home daycare. I know some ASL, I'm strong at creating visual aides, and I've had some experience assisting students with cerebral palsy with toileting and G-tube feedings. I'm a very motivated and creative individual and I believe that I have a lot to offer not only your special needs children, but your neurotypical children and pets as well. I'm a big dog-lover myself. It's very important to me to have a positive and collaborative relationship with the families I work with. Families who share my passion for the arts and/or hockey a plus.

I have 10 years of experience with the local school district working in mainstream and special needs classrooms. My experience is with children on the autism spectrum disorder from age 3 to 13 years of age. I worked six years as a behavior therapist using applied behavior analysis in addition to positive reinforcement therapy in the Comprehensive Autism Program. Previously, I have three years of experience working one on one with a child who had autism in mainstream classroom. I enjoy working with children and recognizing their strengths. It's especially rewarding watching them grow and learn no matter what the pace of learning may be. I am pursuing my career in Occupational Therapy to continue my education and be able to help more in my professional career. I enjoy singing, music, and creating art. Being athletic, I also enjoy playing games and sports indoors and outdoors. Animals are very loving and caring creatures and I am able to work with them, though I have a slight allergy to cats. I drive a reliable car and have a clean driving record. If light house chores are needed, I can work efficiently cleaning, cooking, or organizing. Warm regards.

Dear parents and families of those lovely children with special needs, As a parent, myself of a sweet teenager with special needs, I would like to obtain the opportunity to be a part of your special team to best meet your family's childcare needs/services. Overall I have been working as a speech therapist (bilingual-Spanish) for more than 14 years, with diverse experience with working with children with special needs (i. e. speech delays, learning disabilities, Autism disorder, etc.), primarily in the school district setting with some experience in the pediatric setting. Currently I'm completing my second Masters (first MA in Special Ed) in the area of Speech/Language Pathology through the Online CSU Northridge MS program. Since I have been blessed with a child myself with special needs, epilepsy and overall developmental delays, though challenging, I'm passionate about what I do because I implement my knowledge/skills, compassion, hard work, and my caring heart to teach and care for my students/children as they were my own!! Kind and special regards, Ms. Priscilla

Hi! My experience as a day care provider includes working as a day care teacher for 4 years. In my classroom, I conducted and oversaw recreational activities, homework sessions while providing academic support, and created arts and crafts projects. I currently work for the local School District as a Behavior Therapist who provides behavioral and academic support to typical and atypical students. As a result, I have familiarity with current academic standards at the primary and secondary school level, as well as knowledge on behavioral strategies when faced with student behavior challenges. When it comes down to it, I provide a great balance of academics, care, and play in the school and home setting for kids. I enjoy what I do very much because it is rewarding to see a child gain confidence in themselves and mature because they have taken the skills they have learned and applied them to their everyday lives while having fun at the same time.

I have been working with kids for over 10 years. I graduated from San Jose State University which I hold a BA in Sociology! I'm known to be very responsible and I have strong working skills including: being punctual, multitasker, have great computer skills, family calendar organizer, organized, etc.! I am well-known for having a lot of patience. For the last 16 years, I have been around infants and I have been watching over my nieces and nephews. I enjoy when I am being challenged, especially when I learn new things. I love children and I enjoy spending time with them. My experiences outside my family include watching infants to teenagers and I have a lot of volunteer experiences, from elementary school to middle school. I must add that I am well-organized and I do have a good history with cleaning. I am good at re-organizing things out, for example closets, kids play room, book shelves and garage area. I am also really good at following rules.

I have about 4 years' experience as a nanny to a child with High Functioning Autism. I also have intensive training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and will be graduating with my Masters in Special Education (ABA emphasis) in May of 2016. Furthermore, I have been working as a Behavioral Therapist for the last two years. Though working with children with Autism is a passion of mine, I also have experience working with people who have other special needs, including Cerebral Palsy, Down's Syndrome, deafness, developmental delay, and more. I'm looking for occasional week night care gigs (or weekly set dates), or weekend day time care gigs. If that's something you're interested in, let me know.

I began caregiving by assisting my brother-in-law after he began hospice care for his cancer diagnosis. When I came to the United States, I started working for a 73-year-old male with Spinocerebella Ataxia for 4 months. When he passed away, I decided to go to school and I took training to get my CNA in New Jersey. I enjoy providing assistance to seniors and/or someone who has a special needs and would like to continue to develop my care giving skills by providing one-on-one care as a professional caregiver.

I have been a caregiver for over 8 years. Clients have included the elderly, both male and female, as well as younger clients with physical disabilities. I have experience with Alzheimer's and I am comfortable dispensing medication. I live in San Jose in the Camden/Branham area. I have my own car and I am willing to drive approximately a 25 mile radius of my home. I speak English and Tagalog. I am outgoing, resourceful and treat my clients as family.

I have spent the last 10 years working with children and teens in mental health. I have worked mainly with youth in foster care. I have experience working with special needs children in a classroom setting as well. I have truly enjoyed my work. I also spent 5 years caring for my sick mother before she passed. I have a lot of patience, an empathetic heart, and creativity to find new solutions to solve problems or develop additional coping skills.
