Rise R. - Pittsburgh Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Rise R.

Full-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I have many years of experience working with both mentally challenged and mentally ill children and adults. I can not do any lifting over 35 lbs. though as I am rather small and now middle aged. See below for the ages and disabilities that I have experience with. I also have experience with children/adults who have the genetic disease called canavans disease and with children in treatment with leukemia. I am available in the evenings and on weekends and I live in the Sq. Hill/Greenfield area so anywhere nearby I'm interested in (I do not drive) but getting around is not an issue for me!
