I grew up with a brother who was CP quadriplegic. After my mom passed, I took care of him for 6 years. My mom was an RN and dad a physician. My mom taught me his total care. He was my life and people said, It's such a great thing you're doing. I felt like luckiest person in the world. He gave us so much with his beautiful, funny, and prophetic soul. His care required everything from catheter insertion to bowel management etc. After he passed, I didn't want to return to corporate work. I am CNA trained with a NA certification, with experience in typical children and special needs children and adults. I know finding a trustworthy person is difficult. My brother had severe stranger danger. He was enrolled a state program for family caregiving, a Florida Medicaid program. Currently, I am NOT available during and after school. However, I will be available during summer break. Also, if your loved one requires lifting, I can only lift using a lift. Thank you for reading.
