Lisa H. - San Jose Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Lisa H.

Part-Time, 6 Years of Experience

I have been working with individuals with physical and mental disabilities for over the last six years. I have worked in in non-profit, along with currently working in locked-in patient care. I am providing activity therapy for children, adults, and older adults in the mental health field. I plan on moving to San Francisco with the hopes of having a more one-on-one experience with an individual with special needs.
I started off volunteering and growing up with family members with special needs. My passion grew as I studied therapeutic recreation at Long Beach State. I enjoy using recreation as a means for therapy based on the client's current, past or future interests. I'm energetic and dedicated to helping those in need.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I ran the LA Marathon to raise money for Ability First, a non-profit organization working with developed mentally disabled. I enjoy running, baking, cooking, and spending time with family and friends
