Hi I'm Leah and I've cared for many special needs children including my own daughter who has severe attachment disorder . I've also had experience taking care of a beautiful young girl with severe cerebral palsy fed from a feeding tube and have had the chance to work with many children with autism from all my day care teaching years. March 2021- The last 7 months I have had the opportunity to take care of a young 9-year-old girl with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy. She was one of the sweetest girls ever. I did her catheters for her, all of her feeding tube tasks, her stretches, her braces for her hands, feet etc. and of course all meds. July 2024- The last 9 months I've been spending up to 10 hours a week with 2 blind boys one with autism on the side, and have loved every min. of it so I also now have experience with that. Love them so much!

    Leah was wonderful with our special needs daughters. She treated them with love and respect and as if they were apart of her family. She would be a wonderful hire!
