I have had young children in my care with special needs. I currently am involved with families who have special needs children . I've worked one on one with special needs children. I have a very calm, and soft spoken nature. I have a patient, kind respectful , personality. As a parent of a son with special needs my heart is passionate about the care these children receive.

    Cathy took care of my 7 year old son. He has severe ADHD and ODD and needed one one on care. He loves to play outside, and build and create. Cathy took him outside to play and ride his bike and also took him to our small neighborhood park to play. She also would take him to the dollar store and Lowe's to get items for him to be creative and build. My son really bonded with her and we loved having her here to watch him everyday after school. She picked him up from school and brought him home and made sure he got his homework done and had a good time. She also watched both of our kids on a Friday evening one time so we could have a date night. We will miss her greatly. The only reason I am not hiring her now is because I am on stress leave from my job. But will definitely hire her again in the future. Thank you Cathy, we miss you already!
