I worked as a respite caregiver for a year for a special needs child. I am familiar with caring for children with mobility difficulties, developmental delays, and other cognitive disabilities. My specific experience is caring for children with spinal cord injuries, including the use of skills such as urinary catheterization, transferring, usage of equipment like braces, canes, walkers, wheelchairs. I am also familiar with conditions like learning difficulties and developmental delays. My responsibilities have included transportation to and from therapy appointments, personal hygiene, tutoring, and assistance with workout sessions. I have also created original lesson plans customized to the child's needs. The skills I bring to the table are patience for the child and their needs, respect for them and their family, and a willingness to learn. I understand that each family has specific requirements and needs, and I am open to learning and adapting to whatever type of care is needed.
