The Skinny On Me

I started caring for people with special needs when I was 15. I was able to take care of my non-verbal cousin. Over the years he started to speak and learn different things. It was an amazing experience. In my spare time, I like to read, take walks with my dog, watch tv while crafting, or spend time with family.
