My experience is with mentally disabled or non disabled of all ages. I also work with handicapped people too. I have experience taking care of all kinds of needs - ADHD, handicapped, blind, cancer, sycophantic, delusional, mentally, bipolar, disabled people and I have hands-on experience everyday! I have a handicapped special needs brother that I have been taking care of for over 20 years now. He was 16 months when he was beaten, and now with my help, he is now 20 years old. I know a lot about taking good care of special needs of all ages. I am kind, caring, respectful, hardworking, dedicated, and very passionate about my work. I am willing to learn anything new that is possible. I take training classes of all sorts every 3 years. I have clean background record and a good driving record. I have worked with all sorts and ages of different illnesses or delays. Most of all, I am proud to say I love this kind of work!

    Nakeda is a very hard working individual who knows how to work with others and complete job tasks. Not only have I been her friend for years now, I know she is trustworthy. At one point in time, we worked together for 2 years taking care of the mentally disabled and helping them achieve there goals. If your interested in hiring her, you will not be disappointed.
