I enjoy providing care for i believe that it brings joy to my heart, to see somebody's lifestyle is better and fulfilling as a result of a caring heart. In my 20 years of experience, i have worked with seniors of all walks of life, assisting with activities of daily living such as feeding, bathing, personal hygiene, as well as providing companionship. I run errands for them, as well as providing transportation to doctor appointments, and shopping trips. I assist with medication, both interpretation of prescriptions and obtaining new prescriptions from the pharmacy. I have also gained experience working with Special needs, both privately and in institutions such as Glenwood and ARC of Jefferson County. In my course of service, i have been involved in training programs to help Special needs individuals gain independence, both at home and while out in the community. I work with the autistic population, Multiple sclerosis, Mental retardation (severe to mild) and all ranges of physical disability.
