I worked for the state of Kansas, from 1990-2002, with children and adults with special needs. I also worked in the school district of San Jose, California with special needs students. I worked on daily living skills, provided care and respite, administered medications, light housekeeping, food prep I'm feeding as needed, bathing, Etc. Working these jobs ended up being one of the most rewarding things, to me, that I've ever done. I am still in contact with many of the families who are now letting my family.
