I have two special needs siblings, one that has a autism and another with a MTHFR mutation. I have always had a sort of skill on helping with children with special needs, resulting in the majority of my babysitting gigs being for special needs children. I nannied a boy with fetal alcohol syndrome for many years alongside taking up the role of taking care of my brother with the MTHFR mutation. I have been told by parents that I am able to communicate and connect with their special needs child in a way they have not seen before. I hold this close to my heart, special needs children will always be my passion. One of my main goals in life is to help a child with special needs have an easier life with their circumstances.

    Grace often watched over my special needs brother. He burns through caretakers quickly but Grace demonstrated patience and had innovative ways of caring for him. He remained safe, and well cared for. Grace was punctual, responsible, and integrity in her dealings. I would recommend anyone with a difficult child to interview her.
