Hi, My name is Rakita and I am excited to work with you and your family! I have worked with our community of people with special needs and elder care since I was 16 years old. First taking care of an elder until her passing. I then worked for a family whose daughter was spastic quadriplegic. I was her night time attendant so I prepared her for her bath, cleaned her trach, gave her medicine, carried her to and from bed, changed her and got her up in the morning before the next attendant. The next family I worked with, I was the attendant for their son. He has Anencephaly, so I fed him each of his meals and changed his diaper, through out the day. In the morning I did his stretch therapy and took him outside to enjoy every beautiful day
