I have been a caretaker when I became a mother 27 years ago. Over the years I have worked with mostly specials needs adults and elderly. I have explored many avenues from day camps, private respite care, home visiting to nutrition education. Our family now supports a life share man who is autistic and non verbal and attends red tomato farm in Newville. I also work at red tomato Mondays and weds. I take my elderly father to gym on Tuesdays and Thursday in the am. Looking for work in the pm. This could be a good fit for me and this person who needs care. Would like to talk to someone about this. Thanks
