Chaminade University - Honolulu - Special Needs

I am a loving and caring caregiver. I am very patient, reliable, and very honest. I have years of experience and in the past had my own daycare. I treat the the children as if they were my own. I have cared for infants up to school aged children. I drive and have my own car. I like taking kids to the park, zoo, museums, and on an outing I do laundry, light cooking and light housekeeping as well as other errands such as: groceries, doctor's appointments, bringing kids to sports activities, etc. I do not have a prior experience with a special needs child but I am confident that I can give the best quality care for him/her and always make them feel "special".

My past employment has given me in-depth experience providing services to children and adults with, and without, developmental disabilities as well as managing and organizing a variety of activities. I have developed highly effective teaching techniques and instructional methods, which have allowed me to educate all styles of learners and foster an enthusiastic and engaging learning environment. Promoting creativity and subject appreciation- while encouraging independence, are a few of the techniques that will be incorporated during our time together. Safety and assuring that your child stays active and engaged during our time together are my top priorities!

I am a very patient person. During the last course of seven years working for 15th Services Squadron at Hickam School Age Program, I generated extensive experience and professional-level skills in several important areas. I implemented activities and special events that meet the physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs of the children and youth. I interacted with children and youth using approved child guidance and youth development techniques. I promoted and modeled safety, fitness, health and nutrition practices. I assisted the school age coordinator and helped at the front desk if needed. I helped set and prep for activities, went over monthly fire, safety and health checklist, and assisted children with ADHD/ADD/Autism/Down syndrome/Food Allergies/Mobility Challenges/and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have been an educational assistant for a middle and elementary school where I assist in general education and special education classrooms assisting students with disabilities. I attend to a disabled student's physical needs, including feeding, teaching good grooming habits, or assisting students riding the school bus. Also, I provide personal attention to students with special needs. I have been a teacher's assistant by helping assess a student's progress by observing performance and recording relevant data. I have worked in a preschool setting, providing the individual attention that young children require. I have also supervised the children at play, nap time and assisted in feeding and other basic care activities.

Hello parents! I am a college student home for the summer. I love the outdoors and I am always looking for something fun to fill my time with. I don't have much experience being a nanny but I would love to gain more! During the summer of 2021, I babysat an 11-month-old child. We would go on walks, play in the backyard, and have nap time. I had a great connection with him before I left for college. Early last year (2022), I worked at Kalihi Kai elementary as an afterschool aide. I would help the kids with homework, snack time, and create activities for them.
