I have now developed many years of experience with special needs patients and the care involved. It all started when I was 16 and my brother was diagnosed with autism. I saw the struggle my family endured and my mom really relied on us older kids to help out. From then on I have held job after job with kids all over different spectrum and special, rare and common diagnosis . I truly just have a special place in my heart for this kind of care and it really makes me enjoy what I do for work. I have experience specifically in Autism, Seizures, Cerebral Palsy, G Tube feedings, PT/OT and much much more. I will be attending school in the future for my RN and would love to just gain more experience in the mean time.

    We have had Amanda working with our special needs daughter for this past year and we couldn't be happier. She has really earned our trust. She is always on time and takes care of our daughter with exceptional care. Part of her job is taking our daughter out for community outings and she always comes home with a big smile on her face! I wouldn't hesitate to hire Amanda! She's the best!
