About Gerald

I am a compassionate, skilled worker who can work long hours and accomplish several tasks at once. I was brought on into caregiving because of my brother John, who is quadriplegic, and a handful when he knew I would be around. I learned a lot through specific classes, yet also a lot just by him instructing me. I enjoy my work because it is a passion of mine to give great service to those who cant, but also I've seen what bad or mediocre service can do in the long run. A personal achievement of mine, that I am proud of, was spending a year and 6 months in Biloxi, MS helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

John Mravik
I was his main caregiver for the first 5 years of his accident, but now I assist my family with a wide range of responsibilities. We all have lives and families, so we split our responsibilities to him by simply having the time to do so. Now a days it's more ranging, rehabilitation work than anything, but there are the occasion bathroom duties and bed time routines.

I am also Certified/Trained to work with Individuals with Developmental Disabilities. I have worked in settings where I assisted with daily living skills required for independence. I've interacted with individuals with limited verbal communication skills and understanding using a variety of supports and positive techniques.
