I have worked with children who have Autism behaviors as well as children with Cerebral Palsy. I am excellent at following your prescribed plan as well as offering positive support, suggestions and feedback. I am especially loving and patient. I worked my way through college at a special needs school and have a BS degree in Rehab. I recently studied Behavior Intervention for Autism Spectum Disorder and know the value of positive reinforcement. My work as a nanny-on-call with a Sonoma agency for 15+ years, has brought me children of all temperaments. The agency often uses me for visiting families with special needs children. I have a gift for motivating children and making learning fun as well as making art and music therapeutic fun. Because of my full lifestyle, I am only interesting in providing special occasion care or last minute fill in should your regular caregiver need time off . Thank you, Antonia
