Charlise from Pennsylvania

Hi, I'm Charlise! I am a sweet and happy young lady, and I love to smile. I love music, and some of my new favorites include Bruno Mars and anything "Kidz Bop." I enjoy spending time with peers, both at home and at school, as well as taking walks through the neighborhood on warm days. My smile can light up any room, and my caregivers count on my pleasant and happy disposition. I dream of having a family who can help me reach my full potential. Charlise enjoys quiet environments and responds well to calm voices and stimulation. She enjoys interactions with teachers and peers in her classroom and in the common area of her home. She is learning to use a communication device to communicate her wants, needs, and feelings, and is currently adjusting to a new middle school. Charlise would benefit from a family that could give her consistent love and attention. She does well in group settings but really seems to enjoy one-on-one interaction with a trusted caregiver. Parental rights have been terminated for Charlise. For more information, a family can call the SWAN Helpline at 1-800-585-SWAN or have the family worker contact the recruiter, Kimberly Weidner, via telephone or email Kimberly.weidner@kidspeace.org.
