Hi I have extensive experience in taking care of individuals. I am currently taking care of a family friend. He is 90 yrs young. I prepare his morning meal, clean his home and care for his dog. I then return in the evening. I take him to all of his Dr appts and do his weekly shopping. I have worked for Catholic Charities and the Center For The Disabled. I have over seven years experience in the Special Needs field, dealing with a variety of ages and Diagnoses. I also have direct experience with the challenges of Autism. My step daughter is a non verbal autistic. I have dealt with both Cancer and Dementia with close family members. I am a very honest and reliable person. I consider Integrity to be my most valuable attribute. I treat all people as if I am caring for my own family. I am a single parent with a teenage son. I am a veteran of the armed services. I am also certified in Yoga, which has given me a great deal of focus and patience. Thank you for reading my bio.
