Over the years I have taken classes on how to work with children with different abilities. As well as working with children, like when I would nanny or when I worked at kids first swim school. I worked with a range of children with a range of abilities. They are some of my favorite children to work and build a bond with.
Caring for others is what I'm meant to do. Any age, unique situations, I truly enjoy it all. It's a privilege to be involved in any stage of someone's life.
