I work as a caregiver companion/mentor for young adults, teens with and without special needs. Currently I take care of a 26-year-old young adult male with special needs who is none verbal. I absolutely love my job and the fulfillment it brings. I help on a part-time basis two semi verbal special needs 14-year-olds. With each I assist in going to the community outings, preparing meals/feeding, helping engage in public in stores. I also have been working with another teen that has down syndrome, going for walks, pool time, movie time at theaters, I go to his school musicals as well to support him, play just dance etc. I have a PHD in the "big brother" role with a minor in being your child's HYPE MAN of encouragement! Also a 15-year-old teen that I help with, He is verbal and on the spectrum, my big thing with him is coping mechanisms since he is prone to self harm.-I am Non-smoker, CPR certified -Bilingual English/Spanish -Pet friendly -Accident and violation free

Chris is so great with our special-needs son! Our son is super demanding and Chris is always one step ahead of him. He has a natural ability with Special Needs kids and is able to meet them where they are emotionally and socially and then also push them in the right direction so that they can achieve more and realize their full potential. Our son has made a lot of progress with Chris. He has been a mentor and a friend to our son and to our whole family. Our lives have truly changed for the better since we have met him.
