I've been blessed with the opportunity to care for individuals with special needs since I was 15 years old. I'm currently a mother of two delightful little girls, nursing student, and work at a facility with individuals who have developmental disabilities. I love my job and working with individuals with developmental disabilities has helped me realize, when I soon enter my career, that I want to work with all types of people. Since I was 15, when helping my great grandmother when she needed special care, and even babysitting for loved ones. There has been no doubt in my mind that making a difference in others lives is what will make a difference in mine. I have experience with adults and children with autism, CP, mentally disabled and senior citizens, non-verbal, and non-ambulatory. I'm also CPR and AED certified. I'm a people person and like to help people live life to their best ability. I hope to hear from you soon!
