In high school I worked with special need students to help them learn real life skills. I can assist with cooking, cleaning etc. I also have a brother who is mentally challenged, who I have since helped more since graduating nursing school. I can help with medical things as well.
I have many years of experience working with special needs individuals. I truly look forward to meeting your love one and making wonderful memories.
I am very skilled in what I do! Whether it is clinical or simply companion supportive, I am savy in caring for those with special needs/cognitive disabilities! I have a heart for what I do! I've taken a few DDS classes, as well as updated classes on my own accord!
