I've been caring for medically fragile infants & children for 13+ years. I love helping the families and the child live the lives they want to live without letting their medical diagnosis interfere. I'm capable & confident working with children with various diagnosis and I enjoy learning new things everyday.
I haven t really personally worked with special needs, but at my job now I work with a few and I love them, I always wanted to be a caregiver, but I recently turned 18 so that is why I am applying now. I would love to learn more and anything to help!!
