I have had a lot of experience working with people with special needs! I am a regular nanny to a little boy with severe ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and other special needs that are undiagnosed. I go to doctor's visits and on vacation with them and am constantly implementing therapeutic activities. There are two families I babysit for as well who have autistic children. I have worked with many children on oxygen as well and administered medicine. I also care for a 32-year-old man who is blind and doctors believe he has a mental capacity of a 7-year-old. I just became certified as a CNA as well.
