My son was born with special needs. I'm skilled at medication management, kangaroo pumps, g-tube feeding, IVs, and advocacy. His situation has taught me patience. I'm creative, engaging, trustworthy, and kind. I've also helped my best friend care for her 2 autistic children who are now teen boys. One is high functioning and one is very low functioning (nonverbal and developmentally delayed). I helped him with ADLs like bathing, meal preparation, diaper changing, dressing, helping him in and out of the car, taking him to the store, etc). Additionally I've worked in nursing homes and hospice agencies and have experience in transfers and mobility. I'm a compassionate listener and excellent companion. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your loved one.
