I have two years of experience caring for children with special needs. From 2009-2010 I was the full time nanny for a 2-year-old boy with speech delays and low muscle tone. From 2010-2011 I was the full time nanny for a 9-month-old with cerebral palsy. For both positions I worked with the children's parents and therapists to create a schedule that helped to foster the children's healthy development. These schedules included specific therapeutic exercises, as well as time spent in nature, being creative, being social, and simply relaxing. From the work I have done I have been inspired by the willingness and perseverance of children to work hard to learn skills that are particularly difficult for them to master.
