I have worked as a School Bus Attendant for students with special needs whether physical or mental. I was closely involved with students that were ADD, ADHD and had mental illness. I also lived and took care of my father, who was stricken with multiple sclerosis, at the beginning stages until he died in 1987. I have also taken care of my elderly grandparents, administering medication, feeding, assisting with bathing and bathroom needs. As an attendant, my duties were to secure students, on the bus as needed, and attend to, and/or assist with their needs. I assisted with the daily needs of an elderly couple, which the wife suffered from Alzheimer's and the husband was unable to physically walk without the support. I feel that I am totally qualified to work with children and adults with special needs.
