Special needs caregivers in Otsego, MI
I worked for three years at Borgess Medical Center, patient sitting for those that could not be left alone. I found great joy in being there to help out when I was needed. I assisted with all different ages, and a variety of conditions.
I have 2 children of my own, ages 9 and 5. The youngest has special needs and she is in need of constant care, so I am very aware of the medical field, giving medications, and pretty much dealing with any situation thrown at me. I am pretty much a nurse without the degree. I love kids and I'm very good with them as well.
