Okaien B. - Dallas Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Okaien B.

Full-Time, 6 Years of Experience

I have been around the most amazing individual's throughout my entire life. To me, everyone is the same with a different outlook on life. I used to work in a day care center with children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. We also provided care for children that required more attention than others no matter the age. I was blessed to be in their presence because it taught me how equal we all are with needs of our own. Being a mother of three and working with children in general has instilled a great deal of love inside me for children no matter what their needs are.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I love to spend time with my children by going to the movies, having family night weekly, playing in the yard with our dog and cat, cooking and learning new things life has to offer.
