Regina A. - Sacramento Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Regina A.

Full-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I have worked with special needs children and adults since the early age of 15. I am attending school to get my BA in education and hopefully later my MA in special ed. At age 17 I learned ASL while working at a Burger King simply because a customer who was deaf wanted to order and not have to write or point to get her meal. I enjoy working with the special needs because they see the world with new eyes and make you step back and see it too.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy reading, biking, taking long walks, and own a small cottage crafting business that only operates for three months out of the year; the rest of the year I build the inventory up.
