Linda M. - San Diego Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Linda M.

Part-Time, 2 Years of Experience

I worked for two years for an after school program which included autistic, Down syndrome, ADD, and retarded children. I also volunteered for two years in a one-on-one relationship with an autistic boy, which proved to be one of the most wonderful relationships I have ever had. These children touch my heart and bring me great joy.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I was an art major in college: drawing, painting, photography; some piano, flute, dance, and theater.
