Yrs Experience

I am a very easy going, down to earth, compassionate and kind person with a great sense of humor. I am very creative and crafty, enjoy working out, being outside and almost any kind of game ( board games, video games, lawn games. Also a huge animal lover! If I sound like a good fit, please send me a message :)

I have approximately 9 years experience caring for adults with special needs and the elderly. My first client I was with for 4 and a half years, He had spina bifida and hydrocephalus. I did his catheters, dressing, brushing teeth, help eating and planned a lot of activities out in the community. My next client was an elderly woman with dementia, COPD and severe anxiety and depression. I helped her with her oxygen, transfers, toileting, showering, dressing and community outings. I have also worked for an agency that gave me a lot of experience working with multiple clients a week so I got to learn more about people with dementia as well as experience with autism. Additional Experiences/Qualifications: I am currently assisting a man with a rare seizure disorder where he has myoclonic seizures often when he sleeps. He also uses a power chair and needs help with meals prep, cleaning, getting dressed and accompanying him on whatever activities he'd like to do.
