Tera P. - Irvine Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Tera P.

Part-Time, 4 Years of Experience

I enjoy caring for others with special needs due to their appreciation of life. I have volunteered with special needs students, been a peer educator who tutored special needs young adults, and been president of the Best Buddies organization. In the future I would like to obtain my masters in special needs education as well as a special needs teaching credential.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy spending time going to the movies, out to lunch, singing, and viewing art. Sharing these experiences with those who have disabilities brings new interpretation to how I see things and is a learning experience for all.
