SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN - RESPITE CARE I frequently care for a 9-year-old and a 4-year-old until mom gets home from work. I am a good fit for a family looking for daily care or a weekend break as an online graduate student at the University of Virginia, focusing on developmentally delayed kids. 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, Children, and Adults. I will send it when appropriate; I also have completed the ABA 40-hour training and have some 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 and might be able to help with behavioral or learning issues. I have a student endorsement for my CDL driver's license; my wife and I live near Fredericksburg, VA. I will bring children's books to read, and together maybe we could practice phonological awareness, and practicing writing. I also have a YouTube and Netflix Kids subscription on your screen or my phone. I know keeping the kids calm, safe, occupied with a productive activity or challenged, fed and changed is important. I have references from all my families. Best, Gary
