Hello, my name is Makenna! I am a student Occupational Therapist. I have 7 years of experience as an everyday caregiver. I am currently qualified and have extensive experience working with children and adults diagnosed with mild-severe Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Asperger's and Parkinson's Disease. My experience also includes working with special needs children who may have little to no verbal communication skills. I am a very enthusiastic caregiver and promise to accommodate to all of your child or loved ones needs. As a caregiver, I am ecstatic to provide an up-beat environment indoors as well as outdoors while incorporating tactile & sensory activities to enhance the child's daily motor skills. During my care with children, I seek to grow a bond with the child. I appreciate partnering with those struggling in order to make their challenges my own. Through leadership and teamwork, the child's successes become my successes.
