Hi my name is Thais, I'm from Brazil, I've been working as a nanny for the past 6 years and I had incredible time working with an autistic boy it was for 1 year and a half. When I started he was 18 months old, the parents didn't know at the time, and because he was the first child and COVID was at the beginning they were staying a lot in the house, no interaction with other parents and kids so they couldn't catch any of the signs, so they asked me to help them with that. After a few months I brought up to the parents my concerns and that was when he was diagnosed with ASD. I gain a lot of experience with them, I was hands on with the speech therapist, behavioral therapist, occupational therapist, with a lot of patience, love and understanding he started to developing. It was a big chance for me, it get hard days and good days even so I was happy being part of their Journey.
