Verbal and written communication
2011-2020 I cared for my mother who was legally blind, had Parkinson's disease and was diabetic. I assisted her with daily tasks, prepared meals, managed her medications, assisted with appointments and handled her finances.
2012 - until present I volunteer for the Polk County Schools. I mentored a student for 2 years at Lake Region High school, did homework with and tutored a child attending Chain of Lakes Elementary from kindergarten until 4th grade. For the last 5 years I have volunteered 3 days a week in kindergarten and first grade classrooms working with small groups in reading and math, assisting children with AR tests, checking homework and assisting teachers with getting materials ready for students lessons.
2015 until present I have been a court appointed non relative caregiver for 4 children, one who has been with me for 6 years and I am in the process of adopting.
