I am a compassionate, patient, and dependable caregiver with 30+ years of experience in education and a higher pedagogical education. I have experience caring for children and adults with special needs, including individuals with autism. I provide personal care, companionship, help with daily routines, meal preparation, shopping, transportation, and a safe, supportive environment. I can also monitor blood pressure and temperature and provide medication reminders. My creative skills include music, piano, singing, drawing, crafts, knitting, and embroidery. I use creative activities to encourage engagement, communication, self-expression, and development. As a teacher, Vice Principal, and Educational Manager, I have developed strong responsibility, empathy, organization, and patience. I treat every person with dignity, kindness, and respect.
