Special Needs Care in Dartmouth

| I had a sister with special need . Cared for her till she passed on.

| Hi there! I am currently a student at Mount Saint Vincent University, taking the Child and Youth Studies undergraduate program. I have been involved in childcare (ages newborn -16 years old) since I was 12 years old and have been in my school program for 2 1/2 years. I have tutored, volunteered with children in low income elementary schools, been a full-time summer nanny and have helped home school on several occasions. I have an updated criminal record check and child abuse registry check, as well as an updated first aid certification. I am familiar with working with children with learning disabilities, autism, ADHD and behavioural difficulties, often tailoring my care to the children's needs as they arise. I pride myself in open communication with parents, including written reports about their children's day when requested. To give you some information about myself, I am very physically active, including hiking, swimming, and being outdoors. I am passionate about designing sensory activities for children and exploring their ideas to help foster creativity throughout the day. My goal is to always build relationships with families and their children to provide them with positive and lasting memories each day I'm with them.

I have indepth experience with Rett Syndrome, cerebral palsy and spina bifida. I look forward to meeting you soon.

| I am 23 years old and have limited experience with special need through swimming instruction. When I became a private instructor I began to work more with some special needs children to develop swimming techniques that are more comfortable and efficient based on ability. I also had some experience with a physiotherapist who came to teach me about how to best help my client in the water which opened my interesting futher to working with people of special needs.

| I’ve just finished my first year as an educational program assistant and it was the best year I’ve had. I truly fell in love with the job and have grown really fond of working with kids and teenagers of all ages with special needs. I have supported students with medical needs, personal care, behavioural support, ADHD, autism, and down syndrome. I have worked with many students with special needs and my favourite part every time was becoming their friend in the process.
