Sitter in Fredericksburg, Virginia

Special Needs Respite Care Provider for the Easter Seals' U.S. Navy Program. Hello, and thank you for taking the time to review my qualifications. I provide respite care for the Easter Seals program and I believe I will be an excellent choice to care for your children. I know these kids can be messy, and I am willing to feed and clean up after them. I respect children and am young at heart, gentle, interactive, calming when possible, and encouraging. I have experience with toddlers, especially elementary and middle school-aged children who will eventually need guidance to transition after high school successfully. I am specifically trained to care for children on the spectrum or developmentally delayed in other ways. I have cared for delayed kids for nearly 14 years and I am UVA M. Ed. - Psychology graduate student for special needs children and have completed the 40-hour ABA training. I am TB, COVID-free, and vaccinated, and I have a recent First Aid Certificate in Infant, Child, and Adolescent Trauma, CPR, and AED from the Virginia Red Cross. I have passed the Virginia and Maryland DSS and criminal background checks and have a commercial license with special needs - student endorsement
