My experience with special needs children...
I have babysat special needs children. The first few hours is me getting a grasp on how they communicate especially if they're nonverbal because everyone communicates in their own way. Once I have mastered that, it's smooth sailing from there. The key is to make them as comfortable as possible and allow them to lead.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The sweetest moment I remember is when I to go to college and the children I babysat for thought they were coming to college with me too!! Sad but so sweet and kind.

Babysitter Available in Washington, DC: Akel H.
Hi, my name is Akel Harrington. I have basically 18 years worth of childcare experience due to me having four siblings on my mother side and four siblings on my father side and being the oldest on both sides I had to grow up helping my mother and my father with my siblings which also helped me gain the natural skill of helping out with children, which led to me doing three years of paid babysitting/childcare. I am also good with kids with special needs because I also have one sibling on my mother side who has autism and another one of my dad side who has autism.
