Victor Special Needs Care

Babysitter, teacher, tutor, coach, camp counselor- I have worn many hats during my time as a caregiver, but one factor has remained constant throughout these experiences; a love for working with children! With nearly 10 years of childcare experience, I have accumulated many valuable skills and knowledge essential to providing high-quality care. I have experience babysitting for ages 1-13, coaching (soccer and basketball) for ages 3-12, tutoring a wide variety of subjects for grades K-12, working as a Parks and Recreation Specialist (and Camp Counselor) for grades K-12, and teaching English as a foreign language to students in rural Japan for grades K-9. In addition, I have experience working with special needs populations and English language learners. I have also taken many University courses in Child/Developmental Psychology and Child Language Development both at the undergraduate and graduate level. I look forward to providing you with high-quality care in the near future!

Hi !! I've been in childcare for 30+yrs and have worked with all age groups. Throughout the years I have also taken care of children/teens with special needs... Autism, Aspergers and mild mental retardation. I value their individuality and base my care on their own personal needs, interests and concerns. I have a great sense of humor which helps when things get trying. I base my calming techniques on your child. Reading, listening, music, playing, fun activities and love are what I am all about. Making your child's day safe, happy, stress-free, fun and loving is what I strive for.

Hello! Just a bit about me... I am a mother of 3 and have a child with developmental disabilities, therefore I have been blessed with patience and compassion for others. I realize the priority to find the right individual to care for a loved one. I have been providing Personal Care and support for seniors for the past 5 years. I consider myself to be reliable, responsible and authentic. I can provide care for individuals with special needs and seniors.

I have baby-sat special needs children along with tutoring them. I also work for the YMCA in the before and after school child care program. I also work at a summer camp where I am in charge of all children under the age of 5 for half of the day and the other half I am involved with the children ages 6-15. I love kids and plan to be a speech therapist with a minor in sign language for young kids. I have also traveled to Ethiopia to work with the deaf children there and worked at an after school program in the city of Rochester.

I have been babysitting my neighbors and teacher's children for the last five years. During my four years in high school I have worked with special needs students of varying ages, and disabilities, including children diagnosed with autism and down syndrome. I will be attending St. Bonnaventure in the fall to major in Early Education with a minor in Special Education. I am very active and love being outdoors. I enjoy pets, especially dogs as our family has a service dog that I work with on a daily basis.

My name is Logan, I have multiple years of experience working with children of all ages. I have experience in almost every aspect of child care, ranging from, healthy infants to 12-year-olds with special need, therefore I am very comfortable around children. I am very active so I love to do many different kinds of activities both inside and outside.

Coached a special needs cheer leading team with children who have all different diagnosis'. Also currently babysit a child with special needs, high ASD. Also work at the YMCA where we have a handful of children with special needs. I am also going to school for speech therapy and American Sign Language. This includes learning about all articulation (lips, teeth, eating, swallowing).

I have provided per diem respite of a boy with full spectrum autism from the age of 7 to 9 years old. I helped boy's mom relax, get dinner prepared, do homework while giving support to her son. I worked while the mother was both home and away and became close to the entire family and developed a long-term relationship with them. I also worked with a woman in her early 40's who had multiple sclerosis, diabetes, was non-ambulatory and required 24-hour care. My last extremely relevant experience was at the Lois E. Bird School where I student taught and was subsequently hired for an aide in a 6:1:1 classroom of 3rd grade boys with varying degrees of emotional issues. The most rewarding thing from all of these experiences is the joy of watching them progress and regaining their freedom in their lives. Not to mention the bond that you cannot help but develop when working so closely with the individuals and their families! busses

I have a little brother with Down Syndrome, therefore I am very experienced with caring for children with special needs. I do a lot of community service for people with special needs as well, it is something I care very strongly about. Because of my brother, he taught me to be patient, caring, and helpful. I also have a lot of experience with children and toddlers. I am great with kids and would love a summer job caring for a family.

In May, I will be graduating from college with a duel certification in Childhood and Special Education. Three summers ago, I began working as a one on one aide in a local school district within their extended school year program for students with disabilities. Working with children has been one of the biggest highlights of the past few summers. I always knew that I wanted to major in education and become a teacher, but through experiences like this, I decided that, post-graduation, I want to pursue a career as a special education teacher. Between work and field placements, I have experience working with children who have specific learning disabilities, visual and/or hearing impairments, ADHD, intellectual disabilities such as Down syndrome, multiple disabilities and children on the Autism spectrum.
