Hi, I'm an experienced companion/assistant for adults with special needs (please see job experience below). I am kind, patient, a hard worker, and quick to assess and adapt to each moment. I'm a good communicator, and get along well with my clients! We enjoy walks and socializing with others; I truly care about my clients' needs! I'm a non-smoker, have my own transportation, and love animals. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks! Lynn Job Experience: •Companion/assistant to adults with special needs. We walked, socialized in groups, played board games, watched sports. I managed doctor appointments/medications, drove to appointments & took medical notes, ran errands, did laundry/tidying, handled bills/tax records, home repairs. •Head, live-in house mother for 4 children with cerebral palsy & development disabilities. Did hands-on care and housekeeping. •Teacher's aide at a United Cerebral Palsy school and a Head Start pre-school. •Provided childcare for children ages 8-12.
We hired Lynn to help my aunt after a debilitating fall and she was really great. My aunt was mostly confined to a wheelchair and managed to get around a bit with a walker. We needed someone to help my aunt get to her appointments and keep the house running until she got better. Lynn was always reliable and on time and really patient. She helped my aunt get her mail, pay her bills and balance her checkbook. She was great with managing her complicated doctor's appointments as well as scheduling of the therapists. Lynn did all of my aunt’s errands: Pharmacy, and grocery shopping. (She also helped keep all medical bills and insurance docs in order; in fact, on several occasions, Lynn caught mistakes and duplicate billing for Medicare , saving us time , money and worry). My aunt would also forget to take her meds and Lynn was wonderful with creating a system to keep track of it all so that neither we nor my aunt had to worry. Lynn was also an incredibly gentle and trusted companion, who kept my aunt company and diligently watched over her so that she wouldn’t have another fall.
