Hello, I am Mandy. I have worked with special needs people for a long time. I started out babysitting an 8-year-old little boy with down syndrome. I left this job because his mother suddenly and unexpectedly died in a car crash. When I moved to Florida, I was a manager for the Sensory Gym. I worked mostly with children and teens. It was such a wonderful job! I received more training at the Sensory Gym by a licensed therapist for special needs. I also have a cousin who has autism. I looked after him for so long from a child to an adult. I was in the United States Air Force as security forces. While serving in the military I received training for firsts aid and CPR. I am not certified, however, we learned how to do first aid and CPR for children and adults. I can't wait to hear from you! Respectfully, Mandy
