I am an experienced grandma who has cared for over 20 special needs infants, toddlers and teens. I've done in home hospice care, in home and over-night care of sick and total care infants and children. I owned and operated a licensed group home for the state of MI for more than 30 years. I have hospital and special education training, including CPR, speech and language, physical and occupational therapy, burn care, g-tube, etc. For the last 3 years I have been caring for children in the South Lyon and Northville area, before and after school pick ups and drop offs, after school care for 5-year-old and 12-year-old. Also 2 days a week for a 5-year-old and his newborn sister, including light housework, laundry and some dinner prep. My current family is moving to Fenton so I will be looking for a new family to help out. I also worked 12 hours every weekend for a family with an autistic child to give them some much needed time to relax. I am reliable, energetic, have dependable car and good driving record. To add to my background information I cared for my dad after his stroke and for my mom after he passed, medication, doctors' appointments, lunch dinner and light housework. Most important in caring for anyone is compassion for their needs.
