"I used Katherine once a week for several weeks. She showed up on time and my 11 month old seemed to really like her. She was able to get him down for naps which at times can be a struggle. I will continue to use her again when needed."

I honestly have not had much experience with special needs children or adults. I did work with a child who had autism but it wasn't for long. I did work at a senior living facility for a little while. Basically I would love to work with special needs. I think the benefit of it would be very rewarding
