I have a little over 3 years of experience in being a care taker however, I grew up around individuals with intellectual disabilities my entire life. My grandmother was a home manager at Krysilis in Forest City, Ia for as long as I can remember. Growing up around people that need a little extra help in various areas of daily living skills has given the opportunity to interact with and become a care companion myself to help individuals experience life as fully as possible despite barriers that threaten to keep them from developing their abilities. I am the oldest of 4 children in my immediate family and am also the oldest of 11 cousins in my extended family. Being the oldest child gave me the opportunity to start baby sitting from the age of 8. I have 18 years of experience with looking after children ages newborn-17. I am a Read more mother myself to a 6 year old daughter.
