During my six months of special needs caregiving, I gained valuable experience working with children of all ages, each with unique needs and challenges. I provided personalized support, assisting with daily activities such as feeding, bathing, and mobility, while also offering emotional encouragement and companionship. I learned to adapt activities to suit each child's abilities, fostering independence and confidence. Patience, empathy, and effective communication were essential skills I developed, enabling me to build trusting relationships. This experience deepened my understanding of various developmental and physical disabilities, and it taught me the importance of a compassionate, tailored approach to care. It was a rewarding and eye-opening journey that strengthened my commitment to helping children with special needs thrive.
