Hello! My name is Danika and I am 22 years old. I have worked with special needs children/teens for 7 years. I was a nannying for a child with autism for 3 years throughout college and have worked for ESY sped programs for in 2 districts in Colorado. I moved back to Grand Junction after obtaining a bachelors degree in Educational Studies. I am currently an elementary SSN paraprofessional here in district 51 working with a range of disabilities on a daily basis. I adore working with children/teens with special needs and I would love to help more families out in the community with care, evening babysitting, frequent visits, weekends, extra help around the house, or just a helping hand while caregivers are around, etc. I am most familiar with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrome, but have lots of experience working with many different disabilities. I can provide references and I am CPR/First Aide trained, QBS certified, and Gtube feeding trained. Thanks so much for reading!
