I have cared for both adults and children with special needs for approximately three years, including disability types such as mentally challenged, cerebral palsy, dementia, Alzheimer's, etc. I have an understanding that simply because a person has special needs does not make them oblivious to the same feelings, hopes, and goals that we all share. I am passionate about advocating for accommodating special needs individuals.

    Talia is a knowledgeable and experienced caregiver who has provided support for my family and I for at least five years. She is excellent with children of all ages, and she is also certified in elderly care (she's a certified GNA, CPR certified, etc). My father became ill and temporarily needed in-home support; Talia was able to provide around-the-clock care, ensure he took his medication, and took him on outings so he wasn't cooped up in the house all the time. She was very supportive and my family really appreciated her skill. I would highly recommend Talia to a family who needs a well-structured caregiver for all ages.
