I have worked in private homes caring for individuals with various needs and disabilities including Alzheimer's patients, quadriplegics and those needing assistance after surgery. Duties included but were not limited to: lifting a person from one wheelchair to another, dressing, feeding, cooking meals, paying client's bills, handling cash and credit cards, shopping, driving large handicapped vans and personal care as needed.
