Carol K. - Los Angeles Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Carol K.

Part-Time, 1 Year of Experience

I babysit my 4-year-old cousin who is partially autistic and has asthma. Due to his special needs, I have developed a lot of patience and compassion as these are the elements that have helped me care for him. I would describe the experience as amazing and completely worthwhile. In my care for him, we love to play puzzles, create models, build blocks, watch SpongeBob together, Ride his bike, walk in the neighborhood, play with the neighbor kid to ensure proper development of social interaction with other children and assist him with his homework.
I prepare/ serve his breakfast and the family dinner, bathe him on a daily basis, take pronunciation exercise with him to improve his language development.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy lawn tennis, salsa dancing, playing with kids, cooking/baking and reading about history.
