A little bit about me

I am a Registered Behavioral Therapist working with children who have Autism. I have been working as an RBT for about 4½ years and had previously worked in childcare 5 years with various different ages. I taught elementary/ school-age and preschool for 4 years, toddlers for a year, and on occasions would substitute. I am up to date on my First Aid/CPR Certification and am QBS Safety Care Certified. Through my experience there have been families I would babysit or nanny for and grew an amazing bond with, both the children and parents. I give the kids all my attention and pair with them to establish trust and build a connection. I have planned activities and games if more structure is required or I let the kid(s) lead the play if they express or show interest in certain things. I am currently working during the week and am only available on the weekends and nights. I am passionate about what I do and will take great care of your family.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I always try to get outside with the kids and play various games or sports; it's fun, healthy, and makes for an easier bedtime. I always try to create a fun environment and engage in pretend play, usually child led, with redirection when needed. Whatever they feel like doing I will always try to make it happen; whether it's nerf wars, dress-up, the floor is lava, cars, building tents, arts & crafts, board games, etc. I love the imagination of a child and seeing how their minds can create anything.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Establishing trust with the family, both children and parents. You're a role model whose job is to inspire them to be their best and to make them feel they are loved. Always follow the 'Golden Rule' in life.

My experience with special needs children...

I am a Registered Behavioral Therapist currently working with children who have Autism. I have experience working with a variety of different special needs children from Autism, Sensory Behavioral, Asperger's, Anger Management, O.D.D., O.C.D., A.D.D., A.D.H.D., and some undetermined cases. The last school I worked for was 60% foster care, so I have also worked with children who have had emotional trauma and environmental challenges as well. Knowing about a child's home life and what they have been through gives me a better understanding and helps me adjust the way I need to pair with them to establish that connection and trust.
