Lydia P. - San Jose Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Lydia P.

Part-Time, 0 Years of Experience

I do specifically have experience with special needs children. I completed an internship where I was an advocate for an emotionally impaired teen and am now the teacher's assistant for the program. I also volunteer for the Youth Service Corps at the Allen Neighborhood Center. I am studying psychology and have background knowledge on many child disorders and disabilities (and would love the experience to enhance my knowledge).
Related Hobbies and Interests
I love going to concerts and I am very outdoorsy. I enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, skydiving, snowboarding, photography, sushi and reading.
