Hi! I am a 22-year-old student looking for a care-taking position! I am very passionate about care giving and have had a lot of experience over the years. For the past 5 years, I have been a certified caregiver for a 15-year-old girl with Dandy Walker Syndrome. This required a lot of lifting and training, for she could not walk or talk and required full assistance. I was also a caregiver for a 30-year-old man with down syndrome for a year. For the past 2 summers, I have worked with a 67-year-old man with a severe spinal cord injury. Throughout all of these jobs I have learned and practiced patience, punctuality, and have become very nurturing. I took a full training course through the special care agency, which taught me how to perform many tasks such as hygienic care and medication registration. My schedule is very open and flexible. I am very passionate about what I do and am working towards becoming a psychiatric nurse.

    Monica filled in for two weeks, caring for my grandchild, who is autistic non-verbal, and getting him ready for school. From the moment she walked in she developed a good rapport with my child, hugs and reading together. She learned the routine quickly, worked independently with no supervision and my kid's over all mood seemed to improve during the two weeks she cared for him! She is an even tempered young lady perfectly suited to care for individuals with special needs.
