I have passionately worked in the Community Mental Health field assisting those with special needs. In addition, I have experience caring for senior citizens. Caring for others is not a job or way to make money, I treat others as I would want to be treated like family. As I have served in the US Army, and deployed to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. PTSD and Social Anxiety are the disabilities I have endured throughout life after the military, so it's very easy for me to have compassion towards others. I currently teach English as a second language, I schedule sessions myself (12 hours in advance) making caregiving very flexible. As much as children love me, I don't have any of my own. (unless you count my loving rescued therapy dog) I am a certified CPR Instructor through the American Red Cross. I currently am taking online classes towards becoming a personal trainer,

    The best caregiver around. You will not find anybody more respectful and professional than he was. Hey Adam, call me, this is Walter. I'm trying to get a hold of you. I must have lost your number.
