Cristina D. - Orlando Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Cristina D.

Part-Time, 5 Years of Experience

I have three years experience working with children with special needs ranging from autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, hearing and visual impairments, and several other disabilities. I also have 10 years experience working with typical children through babysitting, substituting, coaching, and day care experience. I am currently in the process of getting my master's degree in occupational therapy. I am passionate to work with children with special needs because I really look forward to seeing any improvement whatsoever in the child, and I especially enjoy taking part in their improvements. =)
