I used to work for Department of Mental Health, OMRDD, I worked for over 5 years with disabilities in both children and adults. I know how to use a Hoyer Lift, perform sensory activities and more. I find it to be most rewarding and joyful as I get to learn so much and share the beauty of life through their eyes. I don't believe in sitting in front of a TV for hours, I like doing things from arts and crafts to creating a book with their interest at heart, having them active and using the time to educate and stimulate their mind. I LOVE working with these beautiful challenges, I don't like the term "disabled", they aren't disabled, they have a challenge that I can handle and encourage through.

    A last minute emergency so I looked up profiles in the area and Samantha is the one I reached out to. She showed up 5 minutes early, smiling, and ready to tackle the job. I have a 3 year old special needs girl who has lots of energy. I also have a self sufficient 7 year old girl. My husband had an emergency event and I had to go with him. I'm a fairly tidy household, but couldn't do much due to the immediate situation and didn't tell Samantha to do anything but watch my children. A couple of texts I sent to her asking how things were. She sent small video clips of my little one playing with her. Samantha did not want my older child to feel unwanted so she drew with her and my young one got interested too. VERY talented! No one has ever put this effort to include us in what they did with our children. Usually just paying attention to my little wild child. We got home to a spotless clean home and dinner cooked! She even walked the dog! Thank you Samantha!! If only we could rehire you!!
