I have experience working with children who have various special needs. I have baby-sat children with ADD/ADHD as well as various autism spectrum disorders, which is a great challenge but very rewarding. I used to tutor/teach a 14-year-old home schooled boy who was living with Asperger's syndrome, which was also very difficult as I was his only instructor. I also volunteered regularly at my church in the children's program as a "buddy" for two little girls who had Down syndrome - I looked forward to seeing the smiles on the faces of those little girls and their parents every week! Children with special needs hold a big place in my heart - they are not called special for nothing!
