South Gate Special Needs Care

I have always said that I enjoy working with children because they tell it how it is, they are always honest. I understand and respect them. Because I know they are someone's child, they are someone's entire world, and it is such an honor to be a small part of their lives, even if for a brief period. In my 20+ years of working as a nanny, I have truly found it to be a rewarding experience and I do not see myself working in any other profession. I have experience working with children with emotional and behavioral difficulties, learning difficulties, and physical disabilities as well.

As a doctorate student as USC earning my degree in occupational therapy I have done a lot of work with those with special needs. I not only have experience as a volunteer in the occupational therapy department of a school for kids with special needs but I also have a year+ experience working as a 1:1 for a child with autism in the school system. This job also allowed me to work with children with varying abilities and diagnoses including - ASD, CP, down syndrome, learning disabilities, ADD, sensory processing disorders etc. I am passionate about working with this population and they were the reason why I decided to pursue a career in occupational therapy!!
