I am a compassionate, patient, and empathetic caregiver with lifelong experience supporting individuals with special needs. I have helped care for my 35-year-old brother who has Trisomy 13 and is nonverbal and deaf. Through this experience, I have developed strong skills in attentive caregiving, communication through observation and routine, meal preparation, feeding assistance, mobility support, hygiene care, and emotional patience. I am comfortable assisting individuals who use wheelchairs and require diapering or full daily living support. Caring for my brother has taught me the importance of kindness, consistency, safety, and creating a calm, supportive environment where individuals feel respected and cared for.
