I've been babysitting since I came to the US. I came in January 2009 as an au pair and I lived with a family for 2 years in California. Back there I took care of (and lived with) a 5-year-old boy and a 10-year-old special needs girl. She was highly dependent on me. I was taking care of her full time, from getting her ready for school and picking her up, to laying down on bed with her till she falls asleep at night. I acquired lots of experience with special needs kids from living and being with her day and night - lots of patience and comprehension as well. I loved her. I still love her. I have a special care for special needs kids because I know I can be a big difference in their lives. I know I made a difference in her life giving her love, treating her as a "normal" child and understanding that she sees the world differently.
