Diana O. - Seattle Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Diana O.

Full-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I currently provide respite care for a young man who has cerebral palsy. I have been working with his family for over 10 years. For a year I was his resource coordinator.
I also have two grandchildren who have special needs (Down syndrome and aperts syndrome). I was a substitute teacher assistant and worked with many children with a variety of special needs. I enjoy helping the parents and the children by encouraging them to try new things and find additional resources to assist them with their challenges and grow to their full potential.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I personally enjoy the great NW and all it has to offer and want to share it with children. I love art and exploring the beach especially at low tide.
