A little bit about me

I raised my own two children one with autism now 23 and doing great. The other with X-linked SCIDS. He needed chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant at a month and a half old. I babysat until my oldest was 5 I work with young adults that have intellectual disabilities. I am very patient and loving. I worked in the medical field before I had my first child. I do know CPR but have yet to do my recertification. That is something I absolutely am willing to do. I had multiple challenges with my kids one was learning how to work with a child that has autism. Then spending 6 months in the hospital with my youngest after his transplant. When we came home I had to do central line changes every three days. One was located in his chest and the other in his groin. Also when I was 19 my sister asked me to watch her son because he cried all the time and was always sick. Nobody else was willing to do it because they were afraid. He ended up passing away with X-linked SCIDS at 5 months old.
