Hello my name is Margaret, I have over 33 years experience caring for children. Specializing in special needs children. CPR/FA, live scanned ihss provider and certified medication technician. I was born to do this work, it is what drives me, gives my life purpose, enriches my heart and allows me to utilize my innate ability to love, communicate, encourage and care for special children like yours. I work extremely well with non verbal children, it doesn't take me long to "sense" their needs therefore eliminating much frustration on their end & making for a happier day. I have cared for severely DD children as well.. that's where my passion began. I have experience with Gtube feeding, seizures, all ADLs. I strongly believe it is a PRIVILEGE to care for those with special needs! I have the calming demeanor and comfort level needed for this work .. so if you need Special Care for your Loved One .. I'm excited to see if I'm a good fit for your family. Best wishes on your search
