18 years working at United Cerebral Palsy in Portland, OR as both an 0n-call overnight & 3 day Live-in Personal Assistant. 5 years working as a CNA in a 12 bed progressive facility for folks w/ HIV, AIDS. And as a temp. in Long Term Care facilities all over PDX. Currently I am an I. P. w/ State of WA & I do home care work w/ seniors & folks w/ special needs. I most enjoyed working w/ adults w/ CP & DD, etc. b/c it is at home where people are most comfortable. I'm passionate about this work I do because I'm good at it after all these years, it's second nature to me to treat all people w/ respect & dignity whoever they are!
