I truly have an extra warm spot in my heart for those less gifted. My 11 years as a teaching assistant was with the special education department of Palisades School Dist., at Tinicum Elementary School. My 1st nanny position was for a family with 3 little girls when I started. Their 2nd daughter has Down Syndrom. She was 2 years old then and had already started an educational program. During my 14-year tenure, I formed a very strong and lasting bond with this lovely young lady and was one of her proudest supporters celebrating her high school graduation. Since that family finally outgrew me (with many tears all around), I've worked with one boy with severe behavior, emotional, and learning disabilities and another with mild autism. In these positions, I always felt grateful in being called to help a family needing some extra "special" love and care. Thank you, Lynn
