Patricia C. - Portland Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Patricia C.

Full-Time, 1 Year of Experience

I have the most experience working with children with cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. I volunteer my time at the Children's AIDS Foundation where a few of the children have minor disabilities. I am a strong-minded individual and more than willing to take on new challenges and learn more.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy volunteering my time, reading, going on what I call "mini-adventures" with the kids whether it be going to the park, zoo, etc. I always try to learn new and creative games or crafts so I can bring something new to work everyday!
