Meet Our Highly Trained Helpers

At Hummingbird Helpers, we believe that every child deserves the best care, tailored to their unique needs. Our team of Helpers is the heart of our organization—highly trained, compassionate individuals committed to providing exceptional care for children with diverse challenges.

Specialized Training and Expertise

Our Helpers have undergone rigorous training in areas crucial for working with neurodiverse children and those with trauma backgrounds. Each team member is educated in:

• Trauma-Informed Care: Understanding the impact of trauma on a child’s development and behavior, and providing care that is sensitive and responsive to their experiences.
• Behavioral Interventions: Utilizing evidence-based strategies to support children with complex behavioral needs, including those with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, PTSD, and Reactive Attachment Disorder​​​​.
• Neurodevelopmental Approaches: Our Helpers are trained to work with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Nonverbal Learning Disorders (NVLD), and Down syndrome. This specialized training ensures they can effectively support children with a range of cognitive and developmental profiles, fostering environments where they can thrive​​.
• Social-Emotional Learning: Focusing on the development of social skills, emotional regulation, and self-awareness to help children navigate their interactions and relationships more effectively​​.

A Personalized Approach to Care

Every child is unique, and so is our approach. Our Helpers take the time to understand each child’s specific needs, interests, and challenges. This personalized care plan is developed in collaboration with parents and specialists to ensure that the support we provide is perfectly aligned with the child's requirements.

Highly Compensated Professionals

To attract and retain the best talent in Denver and the surrounding areas, we ensure that our Helpers are among the most highly compensated professionals in the field. We believe that quality care begins with quality caregivers, and we are committed to valuing their expertise and dedication. This approach allows us to attract the top talent, ensuring that your child is cared for by the best in the industry.

Continuous Learning and Development

We recognize that the needs of children are constantly evolving, and so are the strategies to support them. That’s why we are committed to ongoing training and development for our Helpers. They regularly participate in workshops and certifications to stay updated on the latest techniques in childcare, trauma care, and neurodevelopmental support.

A Community of Support

Our Helpers are not just caregivers—they are part of a broader community that includes parents, therapists, and educators. We work closely with these stakeholders to create a cohesive support system around each child, ensuring consistency and effectiveness in the care provided.

Compassion and Dedication

Above all, our Helpers are chosen for their compassion and dedication. They understand the importance of patience, empathy, and the positive impact they can make in a child’s life. Their goal is not only to provide care but also to build trusting relationships that allow each child to feel safe, valued, and understood.

At Hummingbird Helpers, we are proud of our team and the difference they make every day. When you entrust your child to us, you can be confident that they are in capable, caring hands that are dedicated to helping them reach their full potential.

The Families We Serve

At Hummingbird Helpers, we are honored to work with an incredible community of families who entrust us with the care of their children. Our clients come from diverse backgrounds, but they all share one common goal: to provide the best possible support for their children’s unique needs.

A Diverse Community

Our families are as diverse as the children we care for. We work with parents and guardians from various cultural, socio-economic, and geographic backgrounds, each with their own set of challenges and strengths. Whether from urban or rural settings, single-parent households, or multi-generational families, we are here to provide tailored support that fits their lifestyle and needs.

Families with Neurodiverse Children

Many of the families we serve are raising neurodiverse children, including those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Down syndrome, Nonverbal Learning Disorders (NVLD), Cognitive and intellectual/developmental disorders, and other developmental or behavioral conditions​​. These families often face unique challenges in finding care that understands and addresses the specific needs of their children. At Hummingbird Helpers, we specialize in working with children who require a different approach—one that is patient, informed, and deeply compassionate.

Trauma-Affected Families

We also work with families whose children have experienced trauma, whether through early life experiences, adoption, or foster care. These children often have complex emotional and behavioral needs that require specialized care. Our experience in trauma-informed care allows us to support these families with understanding and sensitivity, helping their children feel safe and secure while they grow and heal​​​​.

Families Seeking Specialized Support

Some of our families have children with high behavioral needs, such as those diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, or PTSD. These conditions can make traditional childcare options challenging, and our clients turn to us for our expertise in providing a structured, nurturing environment that supports their child’s specific needs​​​​.

Collaborating with Families

At Hummingbird Helpers, we view our relationship with families as a partnership. We work closely with parents, guardians, and other caregivers to create individualized care plans that align with each child’s needs and family dynamics. We believe that collaboration is key to providing the best care, and we are committed to maintaining open communication and trust with every family we serve.

Supporting Families on Their Journey

We understand that raising a child with special needs can be both rewarding and challenging. Our goal is to provide more than just care; we aim to offer families peace of mind, knowing their children are in capable, loving hands. We are here to support you through every stage of your child’s development, providing the expertise and compassionate care that makes a difference.

At Hummingbird Helpers, we are proud to serve such a vibrant and resilient community of families. We are inspired by your dedication and strength, and we are here to help your children reach their full potential in a nurturing and supportive environment.
