I m a caring, compassionate, invested and dependable person. I've worked for The City of Virginia Beach for 9 years taking care of adults with special needs. I have experience working with a wide variety of disabilities including all levels of autism, down syndrome, fragile x, wheelchair and those with more complex disabilities. I've cared for g-tubes, colostomy bags and adult personal garments. I've also worked with the state at SEVTC and ARC for a combined 15 years experience. Iv had a PT job closely working with a family who's daughter has autism for 7 years. I still remain close with her. I have a young man with special needs who lives with me full time, I support him with all aspects of care. I nannied a 9 month baby for 10 months going on doc appoinments, parks, zoos, aquarium, play centers etc. I have FANTASTIC references! I am looking for M-F from 9ish till early afternoon.

    Shari has been a part of our family for almost 9 years. She's compassionate, understanding and loving to not only our daughter who she cares for as if she were her own but our entire family. Shari works hard, is very dedicated and she would be an incredible asset to any family she works with.
