Debra P. - Los Angeles Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Debra P.

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I have worked with special needs children for 10 years as a direct support professional. I am now serving as a program coordinator for the same school. The children have become my own. I have enjoyed helping them grow. They have successfully developed to their best accomplishments physically, mentally, and socially. Our students are well adjusted to everyday living skills. I enjoy being a part of that success.
