Candice J. - Cincinnati Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Candice J.

Part-Time, 2 Years of Experience

As a current employee of a non-profit that educates young adults with developmental disabilities, I am interested in providing similar care to families and individuals in the evening, and some weekend hours. I have two years experience in the field of disability services (in school setting and in non-profit). I am a firm believer in people first language, and positive support. I am dedicated to increasing community inclusion and independence of people with disabilities with dignity, respect, and open communication. I can care for children during after school hours (after 4 p.m.), or assist adults in being more independent.

I have an insured vehicle (not accessible, unfortunately - but I am trained to drive accessible vans if you and your family have one, and I am comfortable with wheelchair tie-downs).

CPR, AED, First Aid certified. Trained in non-violent crisis prevention intervention. Strong advocate of people first language, and community inclusion.
