Occupational Therapy Student With Special Needs Experience :)
Hello! I am currently an occupational therapy student at the University of St Augustine and am looking for a part-time or as-needed caregiver/nannying job for individuals with special needs. I am well-versed in the proper care of individuals with special needs and have 2 years of experience as a caregiver for an adult with cerebral palsy. I have experience with a g-tube, through which I would administer medication and water to hydrate him. I also have experience hand-over-hand feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, oral hygiene, transferring from bed to wheelchair and wheelchair to chair using either a Hoyer lift or lifting with my body, as well as positioning in bed or in wheelchair to avoid pressure sores and maintain comfort levels. I also have experience and knowledge of proper stretching techniques and facilitating therapeutic activities to help improve fine and gross motor functioning. :)
