I am very passionate about special needs children. Their complexities are intriguing and challenging to me. I am eager to learn and participate as much as I can. My care is comprised of infants and toddlers with Aspergers, delayed development, medically fragile, premature, sensory integration disorder, and speech delayed. I created and maintained a predictable routine for the children. This way they knew what to expect and could ease into it comfortably. I was active in various therapies which encompassed, occupational, physical, speech, and ABA. (Applied Behavioral Analysis.) In working with autistic children; I provided various activities to exercise and strengthen core muscles, fine and gross motor skills. I sprinkled in all kinds of fun tactile activities too (finger painting with shaving cream, playing with rice, bare feet in grass or sand, etc.). I spent the day exploring, experiencing and learning through whatever medium the child responded to that day!

    Michelle (Miki) worked for us for a couple of years until we moved away. She is the best. In addition to caring for our infant son, who was born prematurely with a number of medical issues, she cared for our whole family, helping out wherever she could to make our lives easier. She always looked for ways she could provide additional help. She is very professional, motivated, and eager to perform her duties just the way you want them to be done.
