Laura T. - Baltimore Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Laura T.

Part-Time, 5 Years of Experience

I am a licensed physical therapist and have my doctorate from University of Maryland School of Medicine. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I was employed full time as a pediatric physical therapist at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital, where I remain on-call. My patients have ranged in age from newborn-21 with a variety of disabilities. I also have experience working with children in the pediatric psychiatric unit at UMMS and at the Maryland School for the Blind. I find great purpose and reward in helping children attain their full potential and that is why I became a pediatric physical therapist.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I have a heart and drive to help children with disabilities and desire to foster/adopt children with special needs in my future. As a SAHM, I am looking for a position that will allow my 10-month-old daughter to accompany me.
