Full Or Part Time Care Available

I cared for a little girl w Down Syndrome for almost three years. That was such an experience for me as I learned so much that words can't even describe!! From doing physical, speech and occupational Therapy daily for hours was such an awarding feeling. And to see her strive and work so hard to reach those goals was amazing.
I've grown up with a cousin that is on the spectrum and I just love the bond that we grew. I've been looking into working with others on the spectrum because I truly love my cousin and seeing how much fun we had together makes me want to work with others.
