I have worked with many families who have a child with special needs as an independent teacher or nanny. I also worked for USM as an inclusion teacher in a 2-year-old preschool classroom and at Pediatrust, a daycare for medically fragile children. I have experience with children with medical devices such as G-tubes, oxygen packs, leg braces, walkers, and wheelchairs. I am confident in acting as a short term caregiver for most special needs children, however, I am not a registered nurse, so I will meet with clients on an individual basis to see if I am a competent option to care for your loved one and if I can be of service to you. My area of expertise is in education and child development.
