Heidi F. - Acton Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Heidi F.

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I have three autistic sons with sensory needs, learning disabilities and social issues. I have learned so much about special needs after spending countless hours in therapy with them! Our house looks like an OT room, swings and all! I would welcome learning about other types of special needs and caring for another child. I have been a babysitter or a nanny since I was an early teenager.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I love to read and cook with children. Formally an attorney, I love to play "school" to educate my kids in a fun manner. I was also a former coach and love to work with children as an OT would.
