Latasha W. - Kansas City Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Latasha W.

Full-Time, 7 Years of Experience

I started helping my uncle who had muscular dystrophy when I was 7 years old, when my uncle died in 2004. I started working for a group home called T. N. C. They house clients with special needs. I worked for many different companies dealing with special needs clients and I am also enrolled in college to become a basic education teacher for special needs children K-8. I enjoy helping those who have no control over what life has dealt them for if they could do the things that I am there to do they would be glad to, but without the abilities to do so I am happy to be of service.
