I grew up with a older brother who has ADHD, so I know first hand what the outburst, bullying and frustration can be like. Since I turned 16 I babysat young kids here and there but my longest job was being an after school caretaker for a teenage boy who has Down syndrome. I am CPR & First Aid certified.
