I am an Easter Seals childcare provider sponsored by ChildCare Aware! for U.S. Navy families and have part-time available for another family that could use help. I frequently care for a 9-year-old and a 5-year-old, both on the spectrum, and occasionally take them to the playground, swimming, or horseback riding. I am a good fit for a family looking for occasional daily care or a weekend break. I will graduate from UVA next quarter with an M.Ed. in psychology and special needs, focusing on developmentally delayed kids. My final class this summer is about the requirements for Virginia’s IEP and Medicare waivers. I have passed the criminal and DSS Child Protective Services background for the Easter Seals Respite Care Program and just completed the CPR/First Aid/Trauma for Infants and Children, as well as training for Trauma and ACE considerations; I will send verification when appropriate. I also have completed the Read more ABA 40-hour certificate and have experience with ADHD, ADD, ASD, Down syndrome, and OCD in young children. I am a community mentor and formally part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. I might be able to help with behavioral, grooming, or learning issues. I also have a student endorsement for my CDL driver’s license and will bring children’s books to read if appropriate. Maybe we could practice phonological awareness or cursive writing together. I also have a YouTube and Netflix Kids subscription, and I know keeping the kids calm, safe, occupied with a productive activity or challenge, fed, and changed is essential. Best, Gary

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!
