The only experience I have with a special need's child is with my friend's son. He is a high functioning Down Syndrome child. I have looked after him several times including weekends at my house and looking after him and his siblings at their house while their parents were away for vacation. For the last four years I have been an elderly caregiver but now my clients need nursing care so I am looking for other people to care for. I feel that if the special need is not too challenging, it would be a pleasant situation to experience.

Judith is a wonderful and caring person. She made alternative arrangements to be able to look after my kids, although it didn't work out (on our part), we would certainly hire her in future!"

Part-time Special Needs Support Worker
| Hello! I am Meaghan and I am 25 years old. I have worked for the Waterloo Catholic School Board for the past 4 years as a special education assistant for elementary aged children. I have a diploma in special needs care and am trained in the use of proloquo2Go and infant sign language. I believe it is crucial for exceptional individuals to be taught essential life skills and to be integrated into society as their amazing selves. I have an intense understanding of autism spectrum disorder as well as other behavioural needs such as ADHD, ADD, fetal alcohol syndrome, and many other potential behavioural needs. I recently quit my job as I am looking for part-time work in order to be home more for my 2 year old daughter. I drive my own car and can work weekdays and weekends. I'm very much looking forward to meeting you and your child!

I am a part-time social work student at the University of Waterloo. I love working with children of all ages, and I have experience with infants, school-age children, and youth. I am a friendly, patient and supportive person, and believe that everyone has room for growth and improvement, and I love assisting in this. I have experience working with Extend-A-Family for 2 years, where I worked with a 7 year old boy who had mild autism. I also have worked for the YMCA for the past year in a recreational after-school program, where I have spent most of my time working one-on-one with the children with special needs: ADD/ADHD, mild autism/Asperger's, and a rare developmental disability, similar to autism. This was definitely a challenging, yet rewarding experience!
