Tawana B. - Chicago Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Tawana B.

Full-Time, 9 Years of Experience

Special needs is something I deal with everyday of my life. My son is a 9-year-old diabetic, he has been a diabetic for seven years. My life is basically ran by a clock and planner, I'm very punctual and accurate on giving his medications and prepare diet meals. When I am taking my son or anybody with special needs, I give my all everyday. I don't think of a person having special needs, but by a person who needs and deserves special attention.
