Leanna P. - Sacramento Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Leanna P.

Full-Time, 5 Years of Experience

I love taking care of children in general. The ones with special needs are really important to me. Sometimes people don't actually sit down with the child and take the time to honestly understand them, and learn that they are the same as anybody else. I have taken care of kids with autism, Cerebral Palsy , ADHD, OCD, Ashma and also adults with kidney failure.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy reading, I always have a new book to read. I have recently been getting my little brothers to read just like me. I like to just listen. Meaning, with working with them, just listen to what they have to say.
