Tammy S. - Pittsburgh Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Tammy S.

Full-Time, 6 Years of Experience

My name is Tammy. I am a mother of three biological children, wife to my husband of 13 years and also a foster mother for three years. I have plenty of special care experience. I have worked with the autistic children, experienced with tracheotomy, wheel chairs, bathing, and feeding. I also have taken care of ms patients. I worked in a nursing home for several years and also taking care of children for several years in and out of my home. Not all special needs but some have been. I am very compassionate about children, especially those with special needs. I don't look at them as being different just special.
