Margaret C. - Chicago Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Margaret C.

Part-Time, 0 Years of Experience

I volunteered to do play therapy with a young boy with autism. I did that for more than two years for an hour, sometimes two, a day, several days a week. He was a wonderful, sweet, and commanding young man. I loved working with him and learning how he saw the world, and helping him see how I saw the world as well.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I love art. I am in school right now as a painting major. Drawing with people is something that I really enjoy. I believe it is helpful in expressing things that you feel that could otherwise not be expressed.
