Speaks English

Growing up with a family friend with Down syndrome, I have been aware and engaged in the experience of special needs individuals. Supporting him through medical procedures, speech therapy, social immersion and emotion control, I am well versed in complexities of caring for someone special. From my relationship with this individual as well as volunteering with the Special Olympics, mentoring an elementary school boy with ADHD, and caring for a deaf relative, I am a patient, compassionate and effective care provider for anyone's loved one. In addition to routine family babysitting, I am a critical care EMT able to act in case of emergency to ensure health and safety. Most of all, I can be a good and reliable friend for your family because I truly care about and want to improve the well-being and happiness of your loved one everyday.
