- Age-appropriate play, enrichment, and social activities
- Family-guided support for independence and daily living

Understanding the difference
ABA Therapy vs. Special Needs Nanny Care in San Diego
These services can complement each other, but they serve different purposes and require different qualifications.
ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis is a structured therapeutic service that may be provided by qualified behavior professionals under an appropriate clinical treatment plan and supervision. Qualifications, licensure, and insurance requirements vary by role and setting.
Best for: Families seeking formal behavioral assessment and treatment from appropriately qualified providers.
Special Needs Nanny / Caregiver
A nanny provides nonmedical childcare, supervision, routines, enrichment, and family support. A caregiver may have relevant disability experience but does not automatically provide licensed therapy or clinical treatment.
Best for: Families seeking reliable, individualized daily childcare and household support.
Important: “ABA therapist” is not interchangeable with “nanny.” Clinical ABA services should be provided only by professionals authorized and qualified for their role. San Diego Nanny Agency's ability to arrange or refer therapeutic services should be confirmed before promising specific clinical placements, insurance coverage, or treatment.

Frequently asked questions
San Diego ABA Therapy & Special Needs Nanny FAQs
Can you help families find nannies experienced with autism?
Families can request caregivers with experience supporting autistic children, including communication differences, sensory preferences, and predictable routines. Candidate experience and availability should be discussed individually.
Do you provide care for children with Down syndrome?
We welcome inquiries from families seeking individualized childcare for children with Down syndrome and other developmental or physical disabilities. The goal is to identify suitable caregivers based on each child's needs.
Is a special needs nanny the same as an ABA therapist?
No. Nannies provide childcare and daily support. ABA is a therapeutic service delivered by appropriately qualified professionals under applicable clinical requirements.
Can I request part-time or after-school special needs childcare?
Yes. Tell us your preferred schedule, including after-school, evening, or part-time hours. Matching depends on caregiver availability and the nature of the support needed.
Do you accept health insurance for ABA therapy?
Insurance coverage and billing depend on the licensed clinical provider, plan, authorization, and service arrangement. Please contact us to clarify which services are available; standard nanny placement is not automatically insurance-covered therapy.
Which San Diego neighborhoods do you serve?
We serve families throughout San Diego and North County, including La Jolla, Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Poway, San Marcos, Oceanside, Rancho Bernardo, and Point Loma.
