Dianne W. - Portland Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Dianne W.

Part-Time, 8 Years of Experience

I have been a teacher's assistant in special needs classroom for the past eight years, at the middle school and elementary school levels, and most recently in a pre-K classroom. My experience in pre-K was with children with medical needs, behavior issues, autism, and various other syndromes. I have also been a one-on-one caregiver for a 3 1/2-year-old little girl with cerebral palsy. I am passionate about special needs children, and am a very dedicated and responsible caretaker. I am a mother of two children and find that the most valuable experience. I can provide excellent references.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I recently moved to Portland from Raleigh, NC. So far, I love the Portland area. My hobbies include: reading, walking, and most importantly, taking care of my family.
