I believe special needs individuals are beautiful treasures in our lives and we should never underestimate their power to teach us what is most important in life. I have 6 years of special needs care experience. I have mostly worked with adults, but I am willing to care for any age. In particular, I have cared for individuals with general developmental delay/MR, Downs Syndrome, Autism, Bi-polar, Schizophrenia, Anxiety disorders, Seizures, ADD/ADHD, Asthma, Wheelchair needs, Cerebral Palsy, swallowing difficulties, Diabetes & Hypoglycemia, PICA, blindness, speech & hearing impairments, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's & Dementia. I love helping each person I care for achieve the highest quality of life possible and watching them enjoy it to the fullest.

    Shawn is a very kind, loving caregiver who has taken excellent care of my elderly father. She is very conscientious regarding medications and diet. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty and is used to working with elderly, and MR individuals as well as children and infants. She is honest above reproach and does not use drugs, alcohol or tobacco. I would and do trust her to care for my father and live in his home as if she were one of the family.
