I have a passion working with people, especially the special needs population. I have 2 years of college as well as a LPN license. My current full-time job also requires background checks. My list of experience is as follows: - Twin sister has hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy as well as cognitive and developmental delays; younger brother has ADHD and multiple family members with autism. -19+ years working with special needs students and clients in various public settings and age groups. - 3 years as an Activity Director in nursing home. - 12+ years as an LPN - 5 in an assisted living facility, 6 in a special needs educational setting. 2+ years in home healthcare. I am excited to be given an opportunity to serve and make a connection with a client and their family.
