I have helped and dealt with special needs children and adults since I was a young child. I have four handicapped cousins that I cared for a lot while my aunt was working. Now that she is retired I don't see them that often, but when I do I have such a great time. I wouldn't change them for the world. I have taken care of them by myself since I was around 15. I can handle hard situations and I try to understand what is needed. I am aware that sometimes it is hard, but I have always been able to handle their problems. I also am interested in child care as well. Love being around children too I am currently working as a part time associate at babies r us and have been employed there since 2005 off and on. So being around children is my ideal job. Can handle all ages. Look forward to hearing from you.
