Hello, I have experience in taking care of disabled and elderly. I grew up taking care of my grandmother who had cerebral palsy and could not walk or sit up. I then was helping my mother with her job taking care of a gentleman in a wheelchair with cerebral palsy. For the past 7 years I have been taking care of a woman born with Epilepsy and she could not walk or talk. In the middle of those 7 years I also was a companion helper for a teenager with Autism. I am very familiar with a number of disabilities and also know not everyone with similar disabilities are the same, so I am more then willing to learn all about the person in need. I'm currently working for a company taking care of elderly, but the hours are not enough. I work during the weekend at another job so will not be able to work weekends. I need a part time job. Also I have had my PCA certification for about 3 years. I also do my best in animal Care, and home cleaning.
