I have grown up with 3 cousins with Muscular Dystrophy and have spent my whole life helping them. I have assisted another family with two boys with Muscular Dystrophy and was a caregiver for them. I have worked at Seaspar, Easter Seals, Marklund Home and have been working in schools for many years. This allowed me to care with a large age range of children a long with a wide range of disabilities.
