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 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 Read more 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

Gary has been a blessing with my two kiddos (10f and 11m) my son has special needs and is on the autism spectrum and Gary has been nothing short of fantastic with both my kids. He makes sure they are taken care of and even does the dishes if he sees any left over for me. Don’t hesitate to hire him, you will not regret it!
