Hello! My name is Tori and I am a RN with 9 years of adult critical care experience. Prior to nursing, I worked as a full-time caregiver for children and adults with special needs, giving me over 20 years of experience within the special needs community across a wide range of diagnoses and abilities. I have cared for nonverbal and verbal individuals, those using communication devices, non-ambulatory and ambulatory clients, and individuals requiring oral, NG, PEG, or J-tube feedings, as well as personal care. I have experience with infants through adults and maintain current BLS/CPR certification. I treat every individual-neurotypical, special needs, or beloved pet-with respect, patience, and love. I have a very well-behaved dog named Franklin who loves people and animals (optional to join). I live an active lifestyle and am happy to take loved ones on outings. I also offer pet sitting and walking for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes.
