I am an extremely outgoing, adventurous person that chooses to live the unconventional life as a Prius dweller. I'm a former DSP and have worked for multiple organizations (Hills and Dales, ARC, Goodwill) dealing with multiple levels of development/abilities. I am patient, kind, understanding, and empathetic to the entire families needs. I believe in keeping individuals as active as they are capable and love to read, hike (even if its just a walk through the neighborhood) and am a pet enthusiast, writer, artist. I promise you will not find a better person to trust your loved ones with! I have several years experience with special needs including tube feeding, medication dispensing (NOT certified), Hoyer lifts, bathing, ADL training, etc. I treat and speak to my clients in an age appropriate manner and feel their opinions matter. I am currently available for occasional/date night care only. NOT seeking a full time care position at this time.
