I have 6 years of experience working in a variety of care settings for children and adults (ages 2-65+) who experience a wide range of disabilities. I have experience in and am comfortable with all levels of care, ranging from providing all aspects of daily living supports to just assisting with daily tasks. I am comfortable providing some medical care tasks such as medication administration, seizure monitoring, g-tube, transferring/mobility assistance, ect. I am also very familiar with crisis intervention and behavioral modification training. I currently work full time as a Special Education Teacher in a highschool classroom for students with extreme cognitive and behavioral health needs. Working with this population is my passion and I believe in providing the best quality care, education, and assistance to help others live their lives in the most fulfilling ways. I am hoping to create lasting relationships for reoccurring work for me and care services for you!
