I recently accepted a full-time position with a family. However, I am still available occasionally on the weekends. Since February 2014, I have been employed with a company in Iowa that provides trained and an experienced caregivers to families with individuals with disabilities. As a caregiver, I am responsible for assisting clients with personal, home, community and work skills, in addition to transporting clients to appointments, school, and group meetings. I have worked with children as young as 4 to adults as old as 60, all with special needs. My schedule is constantly changing, with me gaining new clients and constantly having to learn about new conditions. I have always been drawn to a field where I would be able to serve people. I find that as a caregiver, I am able to help both individuals and families, grow and meet their goals and dreams, and this brings me joy! As a result of rigorous school and work standards and schedules, I have developed excellent time management, communication, and organizational skills.
