Linda B. - Houston Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Linda B.

Full-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I have over 10 years of experience working with special needs children and young adults in special education. I have previous experience with MHMRA clients with severe disabilities. I was a special education teacher providing educational services to students with ADHD, ADD, and Autism for 10 years. I enjoy being in a position to interact with children and make a positive impact on their lives. I bring patience, love, and understanding to every home. I am a mother of three, and I do not smoke or drink. I love educating young people and empowering them with knowledge in order to help them excel and develop mentally. I would love to have the opportunity to work with your family. I feel I can make a positive change on any child. My goal is to treat your child as if he or she is my child. I am a true believer that your work is a reflection of you. Therefore, I believe in giving 100% on any and every job. I also feel I have the skills and the ability to enhance any child's ability to excel academically in life based on my past experience as a special education teacher educating students with ADD, ADHD and Autism.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I love playing educational games with my students to challenge them, both mentally and physically. As an educator and parent, I never give up on a child in my care.
