My desire to work with adults and children with special needs stems from my innate passion for helping others. I believe that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect despite their level of ability. I possess experience working with youth between the ages of 13-21 who have severe emotional disturbances and also intellectual disabilities in and outside of a school setting. I have worked as a caregiver with children between the ages of 5-10 who have been diagnosed with ADD and ADHD. As a Respite Care Aide, I worked with a child who has Autism Spectrum Disorder. I also had the privilege to work as a Respite Care Aide for a woman with Cerebral Palsy. I have experience in tutoring and behavioral management support, assisting with basic life skills, picking up client from school/appointments, bathing and assisting client with getting ready for school/work. I want to find a special Read more client to care for because I want to show them that despite their level of ability, they are valued and respected. I accept all and feel that it is my personal obligation to provide the utmost care to anyone who I work with.
