My best friends brother is special, so I've been around it for about 10 years and there were times when I had to take care of him by myself! I would love to work with special needs kids because they are amazing kids and have a special place in my heart.
My parents have fostered medical needs children for a large majority of my life, and I started nannying at home in a paid capacity when I was 13.
I have the most experience with G-buttons, NG tubes, autism and ADHD, developmental delays, and TBI related difficulties in toddlers but am willing to learn anything I may need to.
