Courtney B. - Ashland Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Courtney B.

Part-Time, 4 Years of Experience

I cared for a little girl with special needs since she was 6 months old. She was diagnosed with cerebral palsy around the age of 1. I do bathing, changing, feeding, playing, some practice with therapy, and mostly giving all the love I can. I also have worked with children who have autism, and Down syndrome. In high school, I volunteered as an aide in a special education room for adults learning the basic needs of cooking, cleaning, and counting money.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy going to the Special Olympics to cheer on all of the amazing athletes.
