I am a Behavioral therapist for children with autism, I help to teach them skills that help them to better achieve their goals. This is not a nanny position, however the job encompasses all of the same responsibilities, I care for children all day long in a school like setting. As a children's therapist I carry out these similar responsibilities (meal prep, bathrooming, play, school work) while using them as teaching opportunities for skills the child may want or need to learn! I do this using behavioral therapeutic interventions & targeted skill acquisition tactics. This could mean we target anything from life skills, to cognitive skills, to social skills. I work with multiple children a day for extended periods of time & commit to those children up until their discharge from our clinic! I was also an emergency medical technician prior to my current position & often treated & worked with children of all ages, at that time!
