Hello! My name is Grace, and I recently graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Chinese and Marketing. Over the years, I've gained valuable experience working with children with special needs, which has become a true passion of mine. In high school and college, I had the opportunity to care for children with conditions like Prader-Willi syndrome, severe autism, and nonverbal communication. One of my current clients is a nonverbal child with severe autism and manic. I absolutely love all children and I want to assist them to their individual needs. In addition to my caregiving, I volunteer in my sister's special education classroom, where she works as a teacher, deepening my hands-on skills in special needs care. I'm dedicated to being a loving, patient, and reliable caregiver who builds trust with both the children I care for and their families. I would love to meet your child and see how I can contribute to their well-being and development. Thank you!
