Teresa H. - Philadelphia Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Teresa H.

Full-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

My personal experience is with my own child who had extreme chemical sensitivity which led to learning issues and food allergies. Though diligence and care she has grown to a wonderful (near) adult attending Architect School and has outgrown her major sensitivities. I would like very much to help someone from our experience. I would be glad to discuss this more in person.
Also, being an assistant teacher for the past 15 years, I have a great deal of experience with children that have ADD/ADHD or learning differences. I enjoy being an anchor for these children and enjoy the relationship that we have very much.
