As the owner of the Respite4u Agency I bring over 30 years of well established experience and knowledge in the mental health sector. My specialized training supporting adults and children with autism, intellectually challenged and physical abilities has provided me with the skills and training to offer individualized care and support to families and caregivers providing them with a much deserved break.
My time spent with the Simcoe County District School Board allowed me to witness the profound impact of caring for a loved one with special needs has on these families. I'm passionate about empowering seniors to maintain their dignity and independence in the privacy of their own home with a little care and support.
Helping others has always been my mission and life path. Volunteering with the Severn Fire Department fulfilled that roll and taught me a lot along the way. Let me know how I can help you today.
