I am in college studying Early Childhood Special Education. I have worked with several kids who have autism along with my cousin who has severe down syndrome. I have also babysat for kids with other health issues who need medications on a regular basis so I am used to that. I always get along really well with the special needs child and we always find a special bond with each other. I have been babysitting kids of all ages for the past 7 years with ages ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years. I am also very comfortable with animals as I have grown up with them and cared for them my whole life. I don't smoke and I have a car so I can provide transportation.
