I worked as a aide for a special education high school for over four years, with ages ranging from 11 to 21 years old. I worked with kids with all types of disabilities but mostly I worked with children who have autism.
As a teenager I began working in a facility that served disabled adults. I went on to become a CNA in my twenties, and for the last 30 years have cared for others as I raised my own children. I will treat your loved one as I would my own!
