Big area, nice parks, distant walk for jobs. Quiet neighbor hood, Great park trails for workouts.
I've worked as a caregiver in the past. It was on home different clients. I took care of their basic needs like bathing, medicating, light cleaning.
As a House Manager, I have developed strong writing and editing skills. For example, one of my main duties was to report in clear detail any incidents within the facility, which deals with issues related to clients who were involved in physical altercations, residents who experienced schizophrenic episodes, or residents who were being sought by law enforcement for felony and warrant issued by a judge. This duty requires meticulous writing and editing skills, and an ability to convey complex legal ideas clearly. I have written dozens of pieces of incidents regarding resident, or facility issues, and received praise for the clarity of my writing.
