Dearlisha G. - Detroit Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Dearlisha G.

Full-Time, 8 Years of Experience

Well, having my mom as a foster care parent, she has children come into our home with all types of illnesses. I have been thought how to provide for them and help them live a natural and regular life. I just love helping people period, but children are sometimes misunderstood. Like my mom always says, "children aren't bad, they're just curious, and you can learn a lot from young children if you listen." They have much to say. Right now, I have a little brother who is diagnosed with ADHD, Fetal Alcohol syndrome, an Autism. Sometimes he can be very needy and have a strong need of attention. But with a little patience and love, he is the sweetest little boy you could ever meet.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I don't drink or smoke. I love to read, have fun skating an taking my little brothers and sisters to the park. I like to do hair an make-up an design things with my bestfriends.
