Hello! My name is Janet, who has 30+ years of experience working with Special Needs persons. I am an R. N. who, when I retired from Southbury Training School (early retirement) I regretfully let my R. N. license lapse. While working there, I spent much time with a myriad of people who were challenged in many ways, such as people with Down Syndrome, Seizure disorders, Autism on all areas of the spectrum, to name just a few. I've worked with persons with behavioral issues. Unfortunately, these people were institutionalized, so they were unable to grow to their highest potential, unlike the fortunate ones who are living at home with specialized support. I am available to help persons in their homes by driving them to appointments, taking them to activities that they enjoy, preparing light meals, assisting them with their ADL's, and participating with activities of their choice. I am a warm, compassionate woman with lots of patience, and an upbeat personality, but with a calm manner.
