Patience with changing needs. Dear CareLinx, My resume does not represent these things: In order to stay home with my children I did personal child care out of my home for a few years. I grew up with a disabled sister, 14 years my senior. There were seasons when I provide assistance during her wheel chair bound years. My mother lived with me when she became disabled. Note, she was mentally fully functioning and was physically high functioning in the spectrum of being disabled. However, she definitely could not drive during her last few years. This was a season of 15 years. My mother was 35 years my senior. I enjoy mutual companionship with the older generation. With Regards, Tammy
