About Wakesha

Experience: 26 yrs

Thorough my career, I have provided care to infants, children and young adults in both the general population and within the special needs community. My experience has spanned across a broad variety of culturally diverse communities. I have worked in private residences, group homes, schools and day programs. Having provided services to at risk/troubled youth and teenage parents, I am especially skilled at remaining composed and solution focused in challenging and unpredictable situations. I am most interested in a livelihood, where I would be free to utilize my natural talents. Generously offering those in my care, safety, comfort, peace and counseling is my speciality. Engaging in interactive learning activities and providing delicious yet wholesome meals is particularly rewarding for me. When at leisure, I enjoy cooking/creating recipes, singing, learning and doing all things adventurous. My girlish charm has never left me! Lol
