Care of all aspects of Daily Living and COPING skills. CERTIFIED teacher for many Cognitive Behavior Therapy programs such as Living Skills, AGGRESSION REPLACEMENT THERAPY, Anger Management, Jobs Skills and too many more to list. I am a very skilled 'de-escalator' for explosive outbursts and I'm a very patient person. I enjoy the challenge of trying to help people everyday. I am also a retired Deputy Sheriff. Background check already paid and available to you. I believe in positive reinforcement! My experience is with kids of all ages as well as adults. (Animal Lover too!)

    What a terrific caregiver! We hired Heather for post-op care for my special needs brother. She arrived early and was wonderful to work with. Excellent communication, very personable, and very helpful. Would definitely hire her again!
