Ivan G. - San Jose Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Ivan G.

Part-Time, 1 Year of Experience

I have always loved and cherished children and I feel I have a special connection with them. I have two children of my own; one of them has Down syndrome. I was devastated when I learned about his condition but learning and helping him with the disabilities associated with DS have made me realized my true vocation, helping children with special needs.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I like to listen to children's music with my kids. I like to enjoy the outdoors, parks, lakes and nature in general. I like to go for walks with my daughter and our new puppy around the neighborhood. I'm good with computers and love to play golf.
