I grew up in a dysfunctional family so I always knew I wanted to try to make a difference. Even if it was a little difference. My parents were addicts so I walked the walk. I have lived the life experience and I think that speaks volumes. My grandson has Autism and the family myself included have educated ourselves on this. My daughter and I used to spear head the walk for Autism every May. I have worked with many children at different areas of the Spectrum. It takes a lot of patience, organization and love if you have a special person in your life, I have also been lucky enough to work with two men suffering from Dementia. Once you build their trust everything comes together. I have done everything for my last two clients living with one and working with him all day everyday. I loved it and I was blessed. I would do all the house cleaning, laundry, food prep all meals. Helped with hygiene, shopping and taking him walking and swimming. I do a little sewing for some elderly friends as they have problems with buttons and zippers, I just change them to Velcro. I do hemming also. I have a clothing design background so for me if this helps the quality of their life I am all in. I wear my heart on my sleeve and admire that about myself. Hope to hear from you, Kind Regards Denise

In the past I have been a Foster Parent. Loving and caring for a child is very rewarding. My grandson has Autism and I have educated myself on all levels of the Spectrum. I have also gone back to school and studied disabilities. I have allot of energy and enjoy doing activities with children. I enjoy stimulating their creative minds. If you are having a bad day a child always brightens it up They are so pure and innocent and extremely funny. I have raised a daughter and she is a wonderful human being and terrific mother. I believe children need guidelines. Exercise and fresh air is important. Stimulating the mind by reading, asking questions and going on outings. Additional Experiences/Qualifications: My cell
