Nancy L. - Bethesda Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Nancy L.

Part-Time, 1 Year of Experience

Hello. I enjoy giving care to others and have recently worked in mental health and social services. I have also worked as a support coordinator with developmentally delayed individuals who had a wide variety of conditions, so am familiar with "special needs" folks and learned a lot about behavioral therapy techniques during that time. I love seeing how even small things you do for people can make a big difference. I particularly want to offer encouragement and hope through sensitive attention to individual needs.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I am very creative and enjoy all types of arts and crafts, and music, but particularly enjoy sewing, quilting, cooking, and gardening. I also love animals and am a pet owner, and currently work part time as a pet care assistant doing mostly dog walking.
