The caregiver will need to have taken a first aid course and have a driver's license. Training will be provided. A talkative person would be good as my daughter can hear, but not speak and has a visual impairment. You can make her world come alive. Right now we need a split shift with mornings and evenings but coming soon we will need day shifts Monday until Thursday, temporarily. Dressing, feeding and toileting are needed daily. When doing dayshifts you are required to take daughter out into community using our van. Our daughter loves to be outside and listening to music.
