Performed in home support services for my brother James. Transportation responsibilities was my main focus. I became proficient using a cherry picker (hoist) to transfer patient from home to a medical bed to a wheelchair and to our retrofitted family van. Then to appointments and back home again. Under the guidance of a registered nurse, I also routinely serviced my brother"s trachea apparatus, shunt, feeding tube, depends, baths and maintained range of motion. It was an honor to learn and perform these duties.
