Understanding and assisting is a huge part in this type of care. I have years of experience with children with different needs, as well as a few years with adults and seniors. I'm willing to clean and cook meals only if items are available for me to use. Working to set a schedule is a huge part of this type of work. Thank you.
Im a very compassionate caregiver with 8 years of experience with a spinal cord injury, mobility assistance, bathing , feeding, running errands, companionship. I treat all my clients as if they are my own family members!! I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your loved one!
