Most of my experience has come from working with children with special needs for the past 4 years. Throughout this time, I have worked with a lot of children, teens and young adults with varying needs and abilities. The age range I have worked with is from 3 all the way up early 20s and the diagnoses have been anything from Down's Syndrome to Cerebral Palsy to Autism. I have also cared for normally functioning children ranging in age from 2 to 12 from time to time. My responsibilities have included medication administration, lifting/transferring, transportation of individuals as well as groups, brief/diaper changing and other personal cares, cooking meals for individuals as well as groups and I also have a significant amount of experience with seizure activity. I would love to work with anyone regardless of age or level of needs.
