Patrick C.

I provide respite care for families of children with disabilities and long term illnesses in your home. My name is Patrick Callahan, a resident of Garden Oaks in Houston, and for the past 30 years I have worked with children with autism in public school settings in elementary classrooms. My 30 years of experience is mainly with children ages 3 to 12 and on the Autism Spectrum. I have recently taken an early retirement to enter the private sector. You can view my site at www.30yearsofautism.com.

One of the services I offer is respite care for families of children with autism and other disabilities. It would be set up for a minimum of 3 hours and up to 48 hours (weekends away, business travel, etc). I may not be a traditional caregiver, but I am certainly an excellent caregiver.

I have 30 years of experience with autistic children, a spotless background check, and impeccable references, including 2 child psychologists and 2 parents of children I am currently working with. My primary focus is autism, but for Respite, I serve all disabilities/illnesses.

I am currently working with a 4 year old boy in one family, and a 6 year old in another. If you reply with an email, I would be happy to send you my resume and references. I would be glad to set up a time to speak with you on the phone and make an appointment to visit with you in person. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Patrick Callahan
