I discovered my passion for caring and teaching people with special needs when I was in elementary school and required Learning Assistance. While in learning assistance, I formed a bond with my LA teacher and EA that I still maintain today in the LA room I was allowed to and shown how to teach others and how to make learning material accessible. From that point on I made it my goal to become a Educational Assistant and Community Support Worker. While at VIU, I also fell in love with sign language from a fellow student and has been slowly learning since. I will be taking online sign language classes starting in September. My past special needs care experience include: peer tutoring during high school, practicum placement, on-call employment and most of my experience has come from my personal life. Diagnoses that I have assisted with are: Spinal Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder and varying degrees of Autism. I am also qualified with child care, senior care and tutoring.

One on one special needs caregiver.
| I’ve been nannying for the past 8 or so years dealing with kiddos ranging from infants to 12 years. More recently (in the last two years) I’ve switched to working one on one with kiddos that have Autism and other neurodivergencies. I’ve worked with kiddos who are verbally limited to kiddos who are mostly self’s sufficient but need support from time to time. I myself am neurodivergent so I find it easier to connect with kiddos that have different types of divergencies. I am happy to nanny for kiddos without special needs as well as I have experience. I am a certified lifeguard as well with up to date certifications so I’d be more than happy to help with swimming lessons and going to the pool!
