Hello everyone! I'm Lisa. I'm the parent of an adult son on the autism spectrum. He's high functioning now, but wasn't when he was younger. I am very knowledgeable about neurodivergent behaviors, needs, and therapies. Also, my mom had cancer, combined with a stroke, that left her incapacitated, both mentally and physically. While I was not her primary caregiver, as she lived in Florida, I helped out as much as I could and learned a lot about senior care and memory care. I currently work part-time at home and am looking for additional work as a caregiver. I am well suited for this work from my own family expereiences. I am patient, understanding, and kind. My hours are very flexible. I am CPR certified but do need to renew it.
