Anitha V.
I have been fortune enough to work with the special needs and special assistance community. I loved giving back to the community and seeing how much growth and impact within the community and with the families. Most of all I love working in a field where I make a direct and positive impact in a individuals life.
I'm neurodivergent and am transitioning from 10 years of nannying to part time social media management. I'm definitely a caregiver by nature and am hoping to find someone who could use my help a few hours a week.
I am a retired general ed teacher. However I am kind and compassionate. I am willing to work with someone with atypical needs. I can't do heavy lifting nor severe medical needs. However I have lots of positive energy and the desire to provide loving , interesting care.
