Hello, my name is Kaitlyn. I'm a 29-year-old professional with eight years of experience in childcare and youth support. Although my expertise predominantly lies in dealing with children and young adults, I also have experience working with adults and seniors. My skills are tailored specifically to cater for individuals with complex needs, assisting them in navigating their day-to-day activities with comfort and ease. I bring to the table a comprehensive range of experiences spanning across children, youth and adults. I ensure their needs are met using strategic, strength-based approaches. I not only help them overcome struggles and challenges but also engage them in various activities to discover and enhance their creativity and social skills. My goal is to make their lives more fun and independent, while promoting a sense of purpose and belonging within their community. I am passionate about the work that I do. I understand that each day is not only a learning opportunity but also a blessing to be able to spread some positivity. In regards to my availability, I am ready to start immediately and have flexible working hours. I can work anytime from mornings through to evenings, Monday to Saturday. I am equipped and trained to work with all ages, dealing with disabilities, dual diagnoses, developmental delays and mental health concerns. My past experience ranges from children aged 3-5, 6-9 to over 10 years old, with the maximum capacity to work with three. I enjoy working with all types of children and youth, including those of exceptional intelligence and those who are at typical developmental stages. My education includes a high school diploma, a college degree and a Bachelor's Degree, as well as advanced First Aid Training and CPR Training for infants, the elderly, and those with mobility restrictions. My role extends beyond just childcare. While I specialize in children and their development, I have primarily worked with individuals with dual diagnoses or in short-term intervention residential homes. Over the last two years, I have worked as an independent contractor with non-violent children and youth, an area that I thoroughly enjoy. I am currently seeking a full-time position as a nanny, virtual babysitter, mother's helper, or babysitter. My services include light housekeeping, meal preparation, children's laundry, homework assistance, handling special dietary needs, and more. I can also manage planning events, taking care of pets, and supervising other household staff. I prefer a live-out arrangement and am prepared to handle challenging situations. My firm belief is that each interaction serves as a beneficial guideline for the child's development and positive enhancements. I derive pleasure from helping and making a difference in your child's or children's lives. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon! Warm regards, Kaitlyn S.

Private social worker for child with structured schedule using ABA
This job I ran into as I noticed a mother experiencing some issues with her non verbal daughter who has autism. I helped her in that moment to get her daughter to stand up as she decided to sit in the middle of the road at a heavy weight, to much to lift and refused to move. Upon using simple ABA techniques and engaging her in a interest based completed demand = desired reward. That “lady” soon after became my employer and I worked for Monday to Friday 2:30 till 9 pm and in the summer 7-7 Monday till Thursday. Each day I followed a daily activity schedule (DAS) that was important for my client as her days were predictable and therefor reduced anxiety leading to a decline in aggressive or combative behaviour. Her DAS included lots of community involvement, news paper delivery and she was a park ambassador until winter came around she only had one job with Oakville beaver (community news paper). Aside from that her engagement outdoors and with others she found similar interests with occupied much of her summer days or after school activities. I assisted with personal hygiene, social and life skills. She always had a goal established by her behaviour therapist, so I would follow her goal orientation and contribution schedule which was included in all activities of daily living ( an example would be to independently get ready in the morning) this obviously requires much smaller goals first to be ready for the ultimate goal that she was challenged with completing based on her cognitive level of understanding the purpose of that goal and her own personal reasons to be motivated to complete it. I also administered her medication and would document as frequently as necessary sometimes even in 5 minute updates depending on the situation but regular logs of my observations on emotional well being her physical activities completed, her goal completion etc. This documentation was what her behavioural therapist requested for charting and documentation purposes. This is also how other members of her muti disciplinary team could recognize and place protocols for certain behaviours that may cause harm to herself or others while also teaching the client emotional management and calming techniques for being able to rely on herself to calm down from stressful situations. Throughout the shifts I would follow a behavioural support protocol as a proactive tool in an reducing behaviours that she has had a past experience with. Then just normal personal assistant with activities of daily living this would include getting ready for bed or getting ready in the morning.

Child, youth and adult social worker for individuals with complex needs and dual diagnosis
Worked along side the individuals I supported to have them feel And be involved in their community to ensure a meaningful life that one can carry with pride, knowing they are a contributing member of their community. Planned daily outings and events. Assisted with homework and other chores Used a strength based approach. Followed a daily activity schedule when needed to provide structure for individuals that experience anxiety. This creates a day where the child/ youth understands and knows what the expectations are that day and can enhance their confidence/ self worth. Followed behavioural support protocols and programs provided by a behavioural therapist or other types of care when given by a reputable professional ( Behavioural Therapist, occupational therapist, any member within one’s muti disciplinary team. etc) Completed daily logs and documentation as requested or provided by parent or other care practitioners who work with the individual I support) Contribute activity with other members of a muti disciplinary team to ensure the child or youth is reaching all developmental steps at their age requirement. Create a meaningful and trusting relationship between myself and the child or youth I support while keeping professional boundaries. Engaging with the child or youth in their daily activities to ensure they are not only having fun but spending time outdoors or being physically active, socially active and being given the ability to be explore things they like or may dislike. Recognized moments that a child may learn from by problem solving difficult situations and allowing the child to make decisions (where appropriate) to find solutions.

Teachers assistant
Worked one on one with students that I was assigned to. Assisted with personal hygiene, tasks given by the teacher to the student. Followed independent education plan (IEP) that was constructed for a student tailored to their needs regarding his or her developmental disability, learning disability or any student in need of individual support for many different reasons or purposes. Documented each students achievements and daily activities, log sheets, and essentially an overview class to class of the entire session and how that student responded or took part in the class. Documenting emotional well being and any changes noticed that may affect the students ability to come to school and participate with the tasks asked if them. I had a duty to report any noticed signs of abuse or injury/ informed of by students or anybody known to the student, if for when it was brought to my attention. The protocol for this was clearly written out and singed by myself that I had a clear understanding of my responsibilities for the well being of this child and my obligation to report any and all cases entirely. This was for legal purposes and to prevent any threat or accusations upon myself. It is a convictabl offence to not report concerning observations, reports, information, findings or evidence.pertaining to the students well being.
