Summary

I started my career when I was 16 years old. I began working in a nursing home. I did so for several years before joining a home health care agency and found my beloved client, who I am still working with today. It's been 16 years and we've developed a wonderful trusting relationship. My client has cerebral Palsy. He is non verbal and non ambulatory. He has a seizure disorder and needs full time care. When I decided to start a family with my husband, we decided it was best for me to stay home with our two children. I still occasionally work for the family and communicate often. Now, I am in need of a new job that can help support my family while taking care of their needs as well. I feel as though this would be an amazing fit for both me, and your company. I believe I am an asset to any employer. Thank you for your time and consideration!
