Tanya J. - Philadelphia Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Tanya J.

Full-Time, 4 Years of Experience

I have work with elderly patients that had special needs for over eight years. It all started when my grandmother became sick from diabetes and I cared for her as needed. From there on in I became prone to care for those in need. Having it be special needs or just a need because they where not able.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy helping those who are less fortunate. Like the homeless (I will give them something to eat, change etc.) Also I care for children for those that need child care to work, school, etc.
