Barbara C. - Kansas City Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Barbara C.

Full-Time, 1 Year of Experience

I have a cousin that has special needs and we were raised together. I also have had a friend survive a very bad car accident. I worked with him and his family while he was recovering from a brain injury. I also worked at a practice in the Kansas City area with people with special needs. I have also helped a friend train for the Special Olympics. I was unable to attend the Olympics because of a previous commitment to an employer.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I love to cook, ride bikes and take walks in the cool summer evenings. I also like to read and enjoy movies as well.
