| I am from a family of 8 children and on top of that my mom did daycare from our home(crazy lady haha) for 10 years, so I was always right in helping her with the kids. I have worked with newborns 2 months up to 11 years of age. I also have experience working with children with special needs. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity of working with your family! I look forward to hearing from you.

| Hi, I have raised 3 children (now adults) who have special needs; 2 in the autism spectrum and 1 with cerebral palsy and developmental disabilities. I was also a school bus driver for special needs students and a wheelchair bus driver for four years. I am friendly, calm and will treat whoever I work with, the way I'd like my family to be treated, with caring and kindness. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect and understanding. I do NOT hold a PSW. However, I do have: Many years experience. A Current police/vulnerable sector check, A Standard First Aid certificate C plus AED, Non-violent Crisis Intervention training B drivers license

| I'm educational assistant for the Simcoe County District School Board and currently in school to become a recreational therapist. I am a patient, empathetic and enthusiastic individual with a wide range of passions and interests. I am a sibling of someone who is deaf and has developmental disabilities. You could say I’ve had a lifetime of experience. I grew up watching my parents struggle to find the right support for my brother. There were so many barriers between my brother and our community, yet I knew he had so much to contribute. With the help of the right support worker, I witnessed my brother break down these barriers and integrate within his community. Over time, I started noticing people waving to him and even communicating with him in sign language. He is now the one introducing me to new faces, bridging the gap between what was once a wall. With encouragement and advocacy from his support worker, he now contributes to valuable roles in his community and continues to build connections with those from whom he was once isolated from. My aspiration is to help build those bridges for your loved ones through advocating and empowering them to live valuable and independent lives.
