I have 13 years experience working with the mentally and physically handicapped. I was employed with the same agency for almost 10years and have relocated from New Mexico. I am C. P. R. and C. P. I trained and certified. I have experience with clients who suffer from mental retardation, Autism, Epilepsy, Fetal alcohol syndrome and pica just to name a few. I assist with bathing clients with ambulatory needs, a.d.l's, and r.o.m. I assist with medication and special dietary needs. I have experience with many different disabilities, and I would love to learn more. In the 10 years I've been working with the same clients, and they have became like family to me. I am hoping to meet new family's to work with and create a lifetime friendship.
