I stumbled upon a job at a group home for adults with special needs while I was in college, and I was shocked at how meaningful the work was. I still visit those people when I have free time, as they live near some of my family. I have worked with kids and adults, with a variety disabilities, in a variety of environments. I graduated with a degree in Science Education (grades 7-12) but chose to work in the human services field full time. I've been a babysitter and a tutor as well, and I have a large repository of cartoon sound effects, monster, and dinosaur noises at my disposal.

Christopher was one of the best PCA's for our 17 year old with autism. He is so kind, professional, laid back but really detailed in the care and attention he gave to our son. I felt totally confident our son was in great hands. Christopher was always on time, never late and very dependable. We hired Christopher from Care.com and he worked with our family about 6 months until he moved out of state. I highly recommend Christopher!
