I work as a special education paraprofessional, have worked as a respite care provider, and PCA in group homes and assisted living apartments since I was 17 years old. I am now 49 years old. I love working with all ages, from infant to adult, and all abilities. I am very patient, calm, respectful, caring, loving, encouraging, helpful, fun, and attentive. I can teach everyday living skills, social skills, independence, and academics. I work with people who are ambulatory and people in wheelchairs (gait trainer/prone stander/ positioning). I work with people who have feeding tubes, seizures, ASD, ADD, ADHD, FAS, and behavior disorders. I also do some sign language. I work with all bathroom needs. I will work in your home and in the community going to/doing activities, entertainment, shopping, playgrounds, doctor appointments, etc. I will go anywhere and do anything you need me to do or would like me to do with your loved one and make it fun and keep them safe.

    We could not have found a better caregiver for our two kids including our son who have special needs. They instantly fell in love with her and looked forward each day to seeing her. Danette is caring, responsible and very reliable. When circumstances made it impossible for her to work, she found her own substitutes (who were also very good) and communicated with us at all times. We could not be happier and highly recommend her.
