Don't we all have special needs? I provide calm, stability, care, routine. I'm very patient and love to teach while learning. My favorite subjects are reading, writing, and art - aside from play, of course. Let's go on an adventure is better than let's go on a walk and elicits movement and learning. I have cared for, including overnight while parents were out of town, children on the spectrum. I have worked with special needs adults, many on the autism spectrum, professionally as a teacher and guide for a small shop. I have taught skills and subjects. And most important, I get hugs. I am fully COVID vaccinated (3 jabs). I am flu vaccinated. I am certified American Red Cross Pediatric and Adult First Aid, CPR and AED. I live on the UWS. I would love to meet and care for your child of any age.
