The past two summers I have worked at a summer camp for special needs kids. I love interacting and learning from the kids I take care of. Taking care of special needs kids is something I'm very passionate about and what I plan to do for the rest of my life. This is so meaningful to me because I love helping people and seeing the difference I can make in someone's life is a very life changing experience that I thrive off of. The past 3 months I was working with a cerebral palsy client and had an amazing time, I enjoyed being able to enrich their life and make everyday living that much easier for them.

    I hired Alexandra for a last minute urgent need. She had significant experience with special needs children and my 7yo son with Autism can be pretty rough. I had to trust her to drive my son to his therapy, 30 minutes away. He is a flight risk and unpredictable. I have never let a sitter take him out of the house before within 6 months. Anyway, she was amazing. She took the situation very seriously and kept him safe. Additionally she was great about playing with my younger son. She came back to help me out a number of times. I would absolutely recommend her.
