I then worked in a nursing home as an aid for 2 years. I have nannied for 3 lovely families along the way, and still have a very close relationship with all the families i've worked for. Currently, I am a state certified personal care assistant, focusing in special needs. I currently work one on one with an adult that ive been with 6 yrs. He has cerebral palsy and is non verbal. I accompany him daily to his job, provide in home respite for his family, and advocate for him in any public setting ie. Dr. Appointments, work.. My duties include but not limited to. All physical needs. Med administrations , gtube feeds/meals, brushing teeth, using a lift for bathroom/shower needs.
