My younger brother has Cerebral Palsy. Although he isn't severe, it has given me a heart for those less fortunate than myself. As a teacher I work with autistic students, students with AD/HD and learning disabilities. In college I was a personal assistant for a 20-year-old wheel-chair bound girl with cerebral palsy. I attended family functions, helped with eating, dressing, bathing and being a companion. A few years later I worked at a summer camp for special needs kids. I again worked with children with Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and Autism. I also have experience being a full time nanny, in which I not only cared for the children, but helped out with errands and household chores.
