I've cared for my special needs daughter. She had a rare disease called 18p-syndrome. I cared for her 11 years. she also spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital. I have experience with g-tubes, trachea, bathing, giving baths etc. The lists go on. I also have an 13-year-old grandson with autism he is very self independent but he has troubles at times communicating but he can express himself in other ways. I was also a assistant director for Giant Steps Special Needs Daycare in Lee Summit Mo for 6 years I also performed many tasks as well with children aging from infant and up. I recently cared for a young women age 27 for 14 years who recently passed away and she had total care as well. But I am very compassionate about who I care for and what I do.
