I'm a caring, compassionate & experienced care provider based in Petaluma, Sonoma County. I've been residing in this area for 30 years, and have many wonderful references should you need to check those. My special needs experience is a four year intensive care of an amazing autistic little boy with a seizure disorder and developmental disabilities. I provided assistance with medication management & administration, preparation of meals & feeding, personal hygiene, basics skill instruction, nature therapy, play therapy and transportation. Additionally my experience ranges from providing care to small children, special needs/autism care, medication management, preparation of specialized diet meals, outings, appointments and activities transport to elder care. I believe in treating those in my care the same way I'd treat a family member, whether it be my own child or my own parent. I strive to assist others in in achieving comfort & well being while feeling respected & honored.
