About Susannah

I have nine years of experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and mental illness. I have worked for social service agencies, as a direct care staff and also as a manager. My experience include bathing, grooming, preparing meal, giving medication, running errands, taking clients on appointment, and teaching ADL's. Since last April I have volunteered in Jamaica with a foundation that assists people who are terminally ill or have a disability. Since I started in this field nine years ago up until now it's my joy to assist someone who is in need. I'm very caring and hard working. I'm currently finishing my degree in Social Service.

    Some people become a Caregiver just to have a job. However, I became a Caregiver because I love giving a helping hand. I love my job and I do it very well. Throughout my 3 year's experience I have never had any complaints from any client's, employer's or family members.
