I am a single stay-at-home mom of an toddler-aged boy. I've had experiences volunteering taking care of elderly people when I was in 7 & 8th grade. My grade school class & I went to Bethesda Lutheran Homes in Watertown, WI, to volunteer doing activities with the people living in the homes there. We had fun making cookies, playing baseball, making Christmas cards, having & making snacks together, etc. It was worthwhile experience because I learned what I am all capable of doing to help care for elderly people or people w/special needs, what all I need to know in order to successfully take care of the elderly or special needs adults, etc.

I also have experience helping my Grandpa who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease & Type 2 Diabetes. I have a basic knowledge & understanding on what to do if his blood sugar is too low or too high, what do when he shows signs of depression/loss of interests he may have, and what do if he ever has an accident of falling because he is ill.

I am certified as a teacher assistant through Madison Area Technical College. I may have more experience with children than I do with the elderly or special needs adults, but I can see similarities & differences they all have. I have had training in CPR, First Aid & in SIDS. I know what do to in case of an emergency & steps to to follow whenever it happens.
