Courtney H. - Los Angeles Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Courtney H.

Full-Time, 5 Years of Experience

My first experience with special needs children was during a summer school session about eight years ago. I volunteered to help with the deaf students in the Carlsbad school district. They were such great kids, I'd baby-sit a couple of them after school. I have also worked with children with autism recently, within the last four years, and a child with Down syndrome.
