gastrointestinal issues causing me to be having consistent flare ups right now.
My daughter is very outgoing, loving but also extremely independent. She is level 3 on the Autism spectrum (lowest functioning) but it doesn't slow her down! She's the happiest baby I know. There are pets in home as well.
I need help Monday-Friday with occasional weekend help from around 11AM-3PM and on even worse days (really bad symptom days) from [phone number hidden] PM
