Alicia W. - Dallas Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Alicia W.

Part-Time, 3 Years of Experience

My brother was 29 years old when he died of a seizure disorder in 2005. He was born healthy but at 16 months stopped breathing and lost oxygen to his brain. He was maybe a 3-year-old mentality throughout his life. My mom, being a nurse was the most patient and most doting mother of all time. I am not yet a mother, and I miss being a sister. Growing up, I worked and volunteered with the local Parks and Rec and later became employed with them every summer to assist in the therapeutic recreation. I now volunteer with My Possibilities in Plano, which is a non profit organization that provides assistance to special needs that have phased out of the education process.
Related Hobbies and Interests
As I said above, I volunteer with special needs adults weekly, I also work part time at Lifetime Fitness, because fitness is a great hobby of mine. I also attend school so I can complete my accounting degree.
