I have worked as a substitute teacher and an instructional assistant with many different types of special needs from Pre-K up through middle school. Working with people with special needs is something that I enjoy. I have a child with high functioning autism.
I have cared for a 6-year-old boy with autism for 2 years. Every child deserves someone who cares for them and sees what is special inside of them. I'm currently in nursing school.
Though I love kids of all ages, the infant stage is my favorite. There is nothing sweeter to me than a baby's coos or the "milk buzz" on their little faces after a feeding.
Fortunately the feeling seems to be mutual; babies and young children take to me. So now that my own children are grown, I've gone back to helping young...
