Ofra S. - Philadelphia Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Ofra S.

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I am a nanny specializing in caring for infants and babies up to 2 years old. I have cared for a baby with Down syndrome. By far, he was my favorite child I have ever worked with. He is now 16. I still miss him. I also cared for a child with CF. She was a doll. She is now 21 and in college. I do wish to care for another infant with Down Syndrome. I specialize in stimulation and language skills, and having fun with the baby.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I am a reader and a writer. I am interested in world politics and the classics. I am also a dog rescuer, a singer/guitarist, an avid gardener and knitter. I used to bake amazing cakes, but now I am a vegan and make fruit salads, instead.
