My most recent position I was the primary caregiver to a 21-year-old with cerebral palsy. She was wheelchair bound, nonverbal, and fed through a g tube. I assisted with her speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. We would travel around the UES to some of her favorite activities, going to museums, watching sports, and listening to music. I was in charge of her day to day activities. Before that I worked with a boy from the ages of 7-10. He had global developmental delays. I also helped him with all areas of therapies. I set up play dates for him and we explored San Francisco together. We did homework together, read books, and ran around. I was also responsible for his two brothers, one two years younger and one 2 years older, often.
