Patricia A. - San Diego Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Patricia A.

Full-Time, 2 Years of Experience

I was caring for a 13-year-old boy with mental retardation. At that time, I did not have any experience working with a child with special needs. I have learned in my classes and in the support group that I am attending a lot about these children. Also, I have a child with ADHD and anxiety disorder, that made me prepare to know his necessities. I work with the elderly too.
