I have been babysitting since I was a kid. I babysat for quite a few of my neighborhood families, in addition to walking a crew to and from school. I grew up around special needs children and consider them my speciality. My mom was and still is a foster parent for special needs children. This gave me an abundance of compassion for every child who ever lived with us. They were my brother or my sister from the time they got there. In that capacity I have watched a multitude of special needs children. As an adult, I have two children who are special needs. One, who is adopted and has an attachment disorder. The other has OCD. This has provided me a whole different perspective to special needs children as well. As a caregiver I am calm under pressure, I don't get rattled easily. I like to use humor Read more as often as I can. I am active and love taking my clients out and about. I have no issues watching multiple children at a time and have worked for families with 4.
