Amanda’s Bio

I have worked with people who have varying abilities for over 20 years some of which are cerebral palsy, autism, Down's syndrome, mild to severe mental retardation, physical disabilities, emotional disabilities, and mood disorders. I've worked with infants to 90-year-old people. I am a personal service worker through the department of disabilities. I've got my AS in Special Education, I've got over 30 certifications; from medication management to Defensive driving, to client patient rights. I follow HIPAA protocol , positive reinforcement, and use therapeutic boundaries.
If you or someone you care for are signed up with the Department of disability services and you need a care provider please contact me. Some of the services I provide are companionship, enrichment, outings, trips, transportation to doctors appointments and personal advocating . I can help with hygiene, Toileting, bathing, cooking, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation, medication assistance, help with animals (however I'm allergic to cats and don't work with reptiles) and am able to figure out other services as needed. I'm available to work days, nights, weekdays, or weekends, I can also work the same hours every week or on a once in a while basis. I could even work over a weekend (or a couple weekdays) in case you need continued care for the whole weekend. I can give respite care so you can go to work, take classes, have a night out, go on date nights, or if you need a Vacation. I'm even able to work with more than one client at a time. Which comes in handy if we plan a special outing such as the casino, Portland zoo, the beach etc...
As long as you are signed up with the Department of Disability of Oregon chances are you won't have to pay out of pocket. If you do have to pay out of pocket my hourly rate is $15.00 per hr. and I charge .50 cents a mile.
If you have any questions or comments feel free to email me directly.
