Christina S. - Los Angeles Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Christina S.

Part-Time, 0 Years of Experience

My past experience has included working with terminally ill children at Camp Boggy Creek. I helped with the arts and crafts department and organized activities. The children I interacted with ranged from toddlers to teens. My overall goal is to go into the art therapy field and work with terminally ill children.
My oldest brother is diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. I understand the disease and have learned how to best interact with those children and adults who have it.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy reading, acting and volunteering with terminally ill children.
