Kelsey W. - Austin Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Kelsey W.

Full-Time, 4 Years of Experience

I have been working with several different children since I was in high school, many with special needs. One had Down syndrome. Another was paralyzed from the waist down. I am a very fast learner and very patient. Therefore, many moms only need to show me their routine once, and I catch on. I am very structured. I also am not afraid to ask questions, but once they are answered, I am a very hard and determined worker. Working with a child with special needs will also give me good experience with my occupational therapy degree.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I have been dealing with RSD, a chronic pain disease for the last year, (it is in remission now.) I also wear two hearing aids, which has helped me realize how hard overcoming or working with a disability can be.
