My experience at this time is all unpaid experience from helping take care of, babysitting, and being around my friends' and family's kids who have ADHD, Autism and/or Down Syndrome. I've always had a natural and nurturing ability to connect and engage with kids of all ages. I've been called the baby/kid whisperer and been told the reason is that I have a wonderful safe energy that kids respond too. I am very protective of all kids. For many years all my friends and family have told me I should look into doing either child care and/or elderly care as a career. Being of service to others has always been a big part of my personal life. Now that I am looking for work again and in a different place in my life I feel this is the time for a different career path which is why I am taking the leap into caregiver work. I may not have the "paid" experience just yet but I know I have the patience, ability, desire, and heart to do this kind of work. Thank you for your consideration.
