Good morning! I do respite care for several families with children on the spectrum and have been part of their families for several years. I’ve earned an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology (school counsellor) and an ABA (RBT) certificate, and I'm currently pursuing a second degree in Special Education at UVA. I have cared for a 6-year-old for the past 3 years and am a good fit for a family seeking occasional care or a weekend break. I also provide weekend respite care for a 10-year-old and occasionally take him to the playground, the pool, Urban Air, horseback riding, or over weekends to give the family a break and de-escalate the tense home environment. I recently completed a practicum with students with special needs in third and fourth grades at Stafford Elementary School. I have a Commercial Driver’s License with a school bus endorsement (special needs) and am certified in First Aid, Trauma, CPR, and AED for infants and children. I am the father of a special needs child who is now a successful adult, and I've had two careers: one at NBC Television, where you might know the name Bob Wright, a past CEO and founder of Autism International (he has a grandchild on the spectrum), and the other as a Microsoft consultant. My ‘gift’ is that I am an active senior who wholeheartedly accepts these children for who they are, not where some think they should be. Outside activities with an experienced care provider, rather than a parent, are excellent environments for learning, for developing independence, and practicing acceptable social behaviors. I am a retired Microsoft tech guy who got involved in the Autistic community by volunteering with Big Brothers/Big Sisters. I can schedule a video Zoom introduction, prior to meeting in person. A FACEBOOK POST OF FREDRICKSBURG PARENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN “Hello all! I am in the Navy and, luckily, receive Respite Care services through EFMP. Our respite care provider is Gary Masters. He has been in our family’s lives for over a year now and is a fantastic human. I write this post because he has the time and is looking to help another family, either through respite care or if you need a trusted sitter for your autistic kiddo. Gary is a retired Microsoft tech guy who started getting involved in the Autistic community by volunteering with Big Brothers/Big Sisters. He completed his BCBA (ABA) training and is currently finishing his masters in Special Education. He was vetted to be our respite care provider.

My name is Lelia, and I have been working with kids as a foster parent for 38 years. I've adopted 7 kids, and worked with my own daycare for 15 years. I'm retired, and I feel like I could still do so much more. I enjoy being with children and teaching them.

I am ambitious and creative but disciplined and hardworking. I absolutely love working with children and planning such fun activities while we wait for you to come home! One thing about me that sets me apart from others is that I will not just sit your child in front of the TV. Everyday will be fun filled and something to look forward too!

Growing up as a teenager, I helped babysit my younger siblings. In my current job, I worked with children and interact with them in a daily basis. I enjoy talking with them and learning from their innocence. I am patient and responsible person as well.

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’m also a proud mom to an 8-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter, which has strengthened my nurturing, patient, and organized approach to caring for children. My childcare journey began in high school as a preschool assistant, followed by several years as a daycare teacher. I have extensive experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and maintain my certifications through annual recertification. I’m passionate about providing a safe, structured, and loving environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family’s care team.

Growing up I was always looking after the younger kids. Making food after school, checking homework, and all those little things. We also always had a lot of animals, so being around them doesn’t bother me. My main goal when working with the children is making a connection so they feel comfortable and safe.

My name is Margaret! I am a patient, respectful, dependable and engaging person. I have wanted to work with young children since a young age, having always truly enjoyed caring for them. I did some studies to be a Kindergarten/Elementary school teacher in the UK however over the duration of the course I realized that my passion is to care and provide for children rather than to teach. This lead to the change into nannying. I was a full time nanny for 6 years, both as a nanny to an individual family as well as participating in nanny shares and working for 2 families together. I have worked with children from infant (3 months) to 10 years old. Additionally I have experience in a daycare setting and have worked with up to 8 children at once. I always work with the aim of providing optimal care which nurtures children physically, socially, emotionally and developmentally. I am a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant which allows for additional perspective into gross motor development.
