I have seven months of experience as a nanny for a foster family with 8 children, two of which have special needs. I care for a 5-year-old boy who is blind, has cerebral palsy and a seizure condition. And also for 10-year-old boy who has Down syndrome. My experience includes administering seizure medication, diaper changes, bathing, tube feeding, and some very basic signing. Being able to work with children with special needs has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. It brings joy to my heart to see them enjoying life, and learning something new. I think as caregivers we may have this preconceived idea that we are there to help and teach the child (which we are), but I have found that I am the one being blessed, they teach me the joy of some of life's simple blessings and open my heart more deeply to love.
