For the past 4 years, I have helped to care for 4 families with special needs children. 3 of whom are adults and 2 are twin autistic teenage boys. My responsibilities with both include meal preparation, hygiene care, bathroom trips, transportation to and from activities, dispersing of medications and firm behavioral management. The past four years have drastically changed my life. I couldn't imagine working with a better population. My current clients have taught me so much about life and love, and I can't wait to add another client into my life.
