Araceli V. - Houston Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Araceli V.

Part-Time, 1 Year of Experience

Hi, I have a little cousin who suffered some brain damage after a series of seizures due to extremely high fever. I care for her when her mom is in the hospital, and when she comes over for a little visit. I have always found it extremely rewarding to be with special needs children and teens. During my high school years, I did what not most teens do. I would make sure to stop by the special needs class and talk to the kids for a while. I know that I do not have much experience, but I do believe that I have the passion for special care.
