Waterford Special Needs Care

Hi there! I have worked with children and adults with both physical and mental handicaps - both in group settings and one on one. I spent last summer working with children with chronic and fatal illnesses, many of whom had Autism Spectrum Disorders. Additionally, I nannied for the sweetest gal with CLOVES Syndrome - a rare overgrowth syndrome leaving her with an amputation and spinal abnormalities. Both of these experiences have led me to a love of children with special needs. Helping kiddos who need a little extra help is something I am incredibly passionate about because every child deserves the chance to "feel like a kid." I've worked with nonverbal children as well. I'm currently a nursing student and I want to go into pediatrics. I am CPR, First Aid, Basic Life Support, and Lifeguard certified. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! Erin P-

I volunteered on a Special Olympics Swim Team for about 6 years. I loved it so much that I plan on getting my Master's Degree in Special Education and becoming a Special Education Teacher. My sister and aunt also volunteered. I love children. If you would like to know more please do not hesitate to ask! I have a resume and references as well.

My name is Rebecca. I am a 23-year-old college graduate located in Old Lyme. I have robust experience in childcare. I have been babysitting since I was 12, and regularly babysat for families with up to 6 children until I relocated to Pennsylvania to attend Neumann University. I worked at a childcare center for 2 years during high school, working with infants and school age children. Here, I gained experience working with children with special needs. Over the past few years I have nannied for several different families as they needed me and I feel that I have gained much experience through doing this. I am kind, hardworking, and energetic. I have my own car and a flexible schedule. Caring for children is my passion and is something that I genuinely enjoy.

I'm been an LPN for 5 years with 15 years CNA experience prior to getting my license. Alzheimer's and Dementia care experience, in addition to currently working with special needs individuals. I would like to assist in healthcare needs of my community by offering my services to those in need.
