Nichole S. - Pittsburgh Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Nichole S.

Full-Time, 2 Years of Experience

I have been working with special needs children and adults for over two years. I worked for a group home organization that specified in community transfer. I also have worked for and am currently working for a school district as a teaching aide in a special needs school. Also when I was in high school, I volunteered for a special needs baseball team as a buddy. I know that a special needs individual needs different kind of attention, and I feel that I have the ability to give that to them.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I know a good bit of sign language and use of communication books and schedules. I also have available to you my background check and ACT 43 clearances up to date.
