[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a veteran special educator.  I've worked in the field for more than 20 years, with experience with a wide range of ages and disabilities, although the largest part of my experience has been with 3 - 10 year olds.  I formal training in ABA, floortime, and a number of research based reading interventions.  I also have a lot of experience with sensory integration, and sensory strategies to support self regulation.   I also have a child who, at one point, had significant medical needs.  He has long since outgrown these needs, and I would definitely need to be trained on the most current equipment, but I'm comfortable with things like feeding tubes, apnea monitors, and machines for respiratory therapy.

For a variety of reasons, I would like to move out of working in a school setting.  At this point in my career, the work that I enjoy the most is when I work 1:1 with children.  I would love to really get to know a child, and help set up a home program that is nurturing and joyful, but also incorporates specific skill development.

I am wondering if there is a market for a special needs nanny, one whose skills go far beyond those of a regular nanny.  The challenge, of course, is that I have financial commitments that I made when I was making a teacher salary.  For example, it is very important to me that I be able to stay in my current home, so that my child can stay at his current school, until he graduates from high school in a few years.  While I'd love to be able to take a nanny job, I am limited to those with higher salaries.

Kekeke.......

Do you think there are parents who would be interested in hiring someone like me?  What kind of salary could I expect?  How would I go about marketing my services?  [/quote][/quote]
