About Leslie

I have three and a half years of experience and standard certifications in the home healthcare industry. I have performed private duty services and believe in customizing the home healthcare experience according to the specifications of the individual and the needs of the family. I have experience with caring for intellectually and developmentally disabled individuals (specifically individuals with Cerebral Palsy, Autism and severe Down syndrome) and individuals with lung cancer, Alzheimer and Dementia. Some of the duties include: administering medication, scheduling and transporting to medical appointments, bathing and dressing, miscellaneous housekeeping, food preparation and creating activity schedules. I am a Certified Medication Technician (CMT) and licensed CPR and First Aid. Some of my personal enjoyments include networking with those in the healthcare industry, traveling, reading and crossword puzzles and spending time with my family.
