I have been a care provider for 5 years now. I worked with a company where I cared for a great patient who had Spina Bifida. His special needs care included bathing, cooking, assisting from bed to wheel chair and so forth. I helped dress him to get him going for the day. I also did his laundry and light housekeeping. He was a great friend and patient and due to his condition he has sadly passed. I then also worked with patients with mild mental disabilities, diabetes, and seizures. With these patients I was administering medication, grocery shopping, driving to Doctors appointments, cooking, and assisting during seizures. I worked for a company with which state cut backs affected my employment and pay.
