I have 7 years experience with handicapped children ages birth to 12 years old. I have 10 years experience as a Registered Nurse. I have recently surrendered my nursing license but want to continue providing nursing type care to children with disabilities. I currently care for a 10-year-old boy with CP/epilepsy/cortical blindness on Saturdays and Sundays whom I have been with for 2. 5 years. I would be happy to provide references upon request.
