Hi, I’m Heather, a para (Texas Ed Aide III) in a K-2 special ed classroom during the school year. Summer’s here and I miss the fun, so I’m offering occasional childcare for kids with disabilities, especially moderate-needs autistic kids (K-2) with communication delays and associated behaviors. I love meeting kids on their level, usually on the floor, chasing their obsessions—alphabet songs on repeat or dinosaur facts galore. I use visual schedules, ASL signs, pictures, and tech, tweaking as we go. Outbursts hit? I stay steady, pulling out sensory breaks or quick redirects. I’m good with neurodivergent siblings, including identical twins and triplets, handling their unique rhythms. I’m 56, strong, agile, and all-in for reliable care. I thrive in indoor setups, keeping things lively. Rates are adjustable by need and situation. My schedule’s wide open for what your family needs. Want a sunny, sharp caregiver who gets your kid’s spark without Read more judgment? Message me. Let’s meet, talk specifics, and make it work. — Recent certifications: Texas Educational Aide III, Basic Life Support/CPR, Safety-Care, and Youth Mental Health First Aid Will provide references and background check.
