A little bit about me

Hi everyone! I’ll be available during the month of August and am looking to help a family in need of childcare or respite care. I currently work as a teacher assistant with preschool and kindergarten students who are deaf and have special needs, including children with autism, several of whom are nonverbal. I’m also the parent of two children with autism, one of whom is nonverbal, giving me both professional and personal experience supporting children with a wide range of needs. I am patient, compassionate, dependable, and understand the importance of meeting each child where they are. If you’re looking for someone to provide one-on-one support, childcare, or respite care, I’d love to help. References are available upon request. Please feel free to message me for more information.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Teachers Assistant at a school for deaf/autistic children. Mom of 2 autistic kids (1 nonverbal, 1 high-functioning).

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in art projects, sensory play, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and fun, structured learning experiences.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a teacher or nanny is providing a safe, caring, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and able to grow.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience supporting children with special needs in both school settings and home environments, providing care, structure, and daily support.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite teaching assistant moments was using sign language with my student and seeing her sign back for the first time—something she had never done before.

Another proud and exciting moment for me was seeing my own child finally master potty training after a very challenging process. Also, having him practice verbally requesting items.
