Experienced and compassionate caregiver seeking full-time work. I spent three rewarding years working in a group home caring for adults with special needs where I gained much hands-on and medical experience. I've cared for patients with autism, down-syndrome, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, vascular dementia, lewy body dementia, cerebral palsy, and COPD. Experience in colostomy care, pressure sore prevention, wound care, seizure care and PICA prevention. I pride myself on being patient, consistent, practicing direct communication, being open to change, and advocating for those in need. Strong organizational and documenting skills. Some of my hobbies include reading, writing, photography, hiking, and baking.
