I have watched a special needs baby from the age of 1 month. She has a congenital heart disease, and has a g tube. Her speech is delayed we are learning sign language and I practice her speech with her everyday. I have been watching her for almost 3 years now.
I took care of a girl who had Holoprosencephaly a rare brain disorder which affected her memory and her motor skills(she was dependent to a walker). It was a hard job which required lots of patience, which I have, but at the same time was the most rewarding job ever!
