Special Needs Babysitter. I am a retired pediatric Occupational Therapist with many years of experience. I have heard families struggling to find a babysitter for their unique situation and would be interested in helping a local family. I love children and adults. I enjoy playing lots of games and doing arts and crafts activities. I have worked for many years, also with adults in physical rehabilitation settings early in my career. I would also be able to be a companion/helper of an adult. I am looking for a local assignment. I work regularly with many children with these diagnosis: autism, developmental delay, sensory issues, dyslexia, ADHD, ADD, Down Syndrome. I also love babysitting children without special needs and helping families with pet care while away!
