Full Or Part Time Care Available

I cared for a little girl w Down Syndrome for almost three years. That was such an experience for me as I learned so much that words can't even describe!! From doing physical, speech and occupational Therapy daily for hours was such an awarding feeling. And to see her strive and work so hard to reach those goals was amazing.
I have nannied for a special needs child with autism, Down syndrome, and who is non-verbal for 4 years, and though I do not have much experience in other special needs, I am willing to learn, and I have a very flexible schedule.
