I am a registered nurse with 28 years of experience. I am CPR certified and have first aid training. I have 5 grown children ages 17-26, so now I have extra time to spare. I also have 5 dogs and a cat, but I still have plenty of love to go around! I have worked with special needs children and adults since becoming a nurse in 1990. I worked for 5 years as a school nurse providing daily care for special needs children. I worked as Director of Clinical Services providing training and care for special needs children in home settings. I worked as Director of Nursing providing training and care for special needs adults in their homes. My skills include medications, GT feedings, oxygen, CPAP, ventilation, trach care, range of motion exercises, play therapy, behavioral therapy, but most important... LOVE! I am trustworthy, flexible, and punctual. I am available part time, full time, date nights or respite. I take my caregiver skills seriously and I hope to hear from you soon!

    Great assistance. Called 2 days before job, as requested to check-in. Needed ride to surgery center and wait 3 hours until procedure done. Prompt, arrived exactly on time. Very professional and helpful. Definitely would use again.
