I have been a caregiver for special needs young adults. I began with one young man whom I kept busy and challenged with volunteer work, making gifts for teachers and family members, doing his chores, and several social outings. I worked with him for almost 3 years and his mother's reference is available on my profile. In addition, I helped to organize a volunteer program with special needs adults at a local church in my home town which is still going strong. I also had a budding business with several others making quality art and crafts items and selling them at local festivals and craft shows, with the hope of opening a brick and mortar place to serve more in the special needs community. I am currently working part-time two mornings a week with small group of special needs young adults making craft items.
