Hi! I have actually never had one on one experience caring for those with special needs however, one of my cousins who I am around frequently has down syndrome and my aunt has intellectual disabilities. I am a very patient and caring care giver and can adjust to the needs of the families I am caring for. I have been babysitting families with one to five children for the past 8 years and have such a passion for taking care of them and making their time with me enjoyable.
