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.
