Jody L. - Portland Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Jody L.

Part-Time, 3 Years of Experience

I have experience with patients in situations and with disabilities such as: Muscular Dystrophy, Stokes, Quadriplegic, Elderly.

I have been involved with raising and training Service Dogs for the physically challenged. Some of our dogs were placed with people who needed wheel chair assistance, who were on crutches, who'd had seizures, strokes, MS, CP, and many other situations. I have also been fortunate to have been involved with Therapy Dogs. Also, I have visited hospitals and nursing homes to see sick and injured children, adult patients, cancer patients and the elderly. This is the most rewarding experience of my life, and is an area I love working in.
