Nancy D. Care Companion in Woodbridge, NJ 07095.

I took care of multiple individuals with various illnesses such as cancer, mental retardation, and physically incapable of performing everyday tasks on their own. With one client who had colon cancer, I bathed, fed, and cleaned the colostomy bag. Another client who had cancer, I performed the same duties as well as checking vital signs, and with another who was mentally retarded, I helped her perform everyday household tasks in order for her to become independent and self sufficient. The tasks performed were: making meals, making her bed, cleaning the house, along with doing various craft activities, games, and reading stories. I took care of two other elderly women by helping them perform their personal hygiene and keeping them company by playing cards. I have also been involved with the Special Olympics for the past six years as a committee member and volunteer.
