Suffolk Special Needs Care

I love children. I have 3 boys (19, 18 and 16). My 16-year-old died in 2017, he was very disabled and died of natural causes. I met my son with special needs in 2010, when he was 9. At the time his physical and mental abilities were equivalent to a 9-month-old. Nonverbal, non mobile, feeding tube a lot of disabilities. I saw more in him and within 6 months he could stand and walk a little bit. In a year he could walk exclusively on his own. Although his developmental doctor identified with an age equivalent of 3 or 4, I saw more. When he was 15 I discovered he could read. I miss working with children and helping them through life's journey. I believe reading help children through all aspects of educational growth and life. Through my son's challenges, I enrolled in University and became a Special needs advocate to help him receive the appropriate education. I retired from the Air Force after 22 years to care for my boys after my husbands death in 2014.

I have been a teachers assistant for special needs children for 3 years. Yes, I am passionate about what I do because the children are near and dear to my heart.

I am a retired nurse that has experience providing services to elderly and children with special needs.

I have years of child care experience, and I am looking to babysit or nanny. I am a rising senior PreMed student. My passion is children and have always enjoyed working with them, so I am studying to become a pediatrician. I have been babysitting regularly for 4 years now. I have looked after children ages 2 weeks through 14 years old. Before moving, I worked in the Children's Ministry at my church. One or two caretakers would be responsible for watching after as many as 10 kids ages 2 through 12 by themselves. During this time, I would read a story and teach a lesson, then lead an arts and crafts project. I am comfortable and have experience babysitting more than one child at a time and with special needs (Autism and ADHD). I have my own car and can provide transportation for the kids. Comfortable with pets. Also able to tutor. References available upon request. Price is negotiable. I look forward to meet you and your little one(s)!

I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and I began my first paying job when I was 15 as an aftercare teacher and continued that job all throughout high school as well as being a summer camp teacher. I also have been a Teacher Assistant for kindergarten and have experience with infants as well s special needs children. I have been a nanny once before and am currently a Toddler Teacher looking to become a dedicated nanny!
