Alexis’s Bio
My desire to work with adults and children with special needs stems from my innate passion for helping others. I believe that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect despite their level of ability. I possess experience working with youth between the ages of 13-21 who have severe emotional disturbances and also intellectual disabilities in and outside of a school setting. I have worked as a caregiver with children between the ages of 5-10 who have been diagnosed with ADD and ADHD. As a Respite Care Aide, I worked with a child who has Autism Spectrum Disorder. I also had the privilege to work as a Respite Care Aide for a woman with Cerebral Palsy. I have experience in tutoring and behavioral management support, assisting with basic life skills, picking up client from school/appointments, bathing and assisting client with getting ready for school/work. I want to find a special client to care for because I want to show them that despite their level of ability, they are valued and respected. I accept all and feel that it is my personal obligation to provide the utmost care to anyone who I work with.
I have been babysitting for approximately 15 years. I have experience caring for children between the ages of 0 months to 12 years old. I am patient and kind. I have a gentle spirit that loves children. I have experience planning and facilitating youth programming, so I love creating fun, interactive activities and games for the kids to play. I do believe that reading is fundamental, so I stress the importance of reading and advocating for literacy with any kids that I work with. I have experience working with children who have emotional disturbances and intellectual disabilities. I enjoy caring for children, no matter their age or ability level. As a caregiver, I have watched up to 5 children at the same time. I have also served as an overnight caregiver on multiple occasions. I believe that is important to always stimulate children's minds.
