Tonawanda Special Needs Care

I've been volunteering for the Special Olympics for 12 years. Outside of the Special Olympics, I enjoy picking up my athlete and taking him out. (Zoo, lunch, walks..) I've also been blessed with 2 children, 1 who is disabled. So I understand how to care, love, and attend to each individual based on their disability. Also have 5 years experience being a full time caregiver for my grandparents in their 90's. Duties included bathing/bathroom/feeding and more. I'm caring, compassionate, and reliable.

Hi there! My name is Jenine - a 32-year-old student pursuing my PhD in School Psychology. I'm looking to help out a family on weekends or for date night. I've had coursework and hands-on experience in schools working individually and in groups with a variety of students, including those with special needs. Personally, I've been around kids for the last 7+ years - most of my friends are on their second kids and I currently hold "Auntie Jenine" status with about 12 kids under the age of 6 and love it! I've had professional experience nannying for a 6-month-old girl one day per week and three girls under the age of 5. I know how hard it is to balance life, work, and the in between. I'd love to help your kids grow, learn, and have fun. My favorite things to do with kiddos is read and foster creative play. Both are crucial in developing literacy skills and cognitive growth. I would love to help make childcare less stressful for your family!

It can be hard finding someone that will properly care for your family member the way that you would treat them. And they would be treated as if they were my own family member. I'm extremely patient (especially with younger children) , realiable (you can trust they are in the right hands), and fun (everyday is a new adventure.) I'm willing to take any courses needed as long as it's paid for. I am in college to get my RN and was about to take my CNA through Boces before the pandemic. Some medical experience.

LPN with valid up to date nursing license. Other degrees in health field include Human Services (social work), Disabilities from birth to Elderly, Child Care, Alcohol and Chemical Dependency, Phlebotomy and IV Nurse . Clean drivers license and dependable vehicle.
