I was a volunteer at Heartland Therapeutic Riding Center for 3 years during high school. Heartland is a place for people with disabilities to ride horses. I had to care for the clients as they rode. My cousin has cerebral palsy and I have been exposed to his daily living situations. I am empathetic and willing to learn how to work with feeding tubes or other necessary procedures. I will be a senior in college and plan to attend Occupational Therapy graduate school. I have a flexible schedule and live in Overland Park, and would be open to commute within the KC metro.

Hello, my name is Ashlee and I am a registered nurse currently working as a clinical director in pediatric complex care at a local children's hospital. My clinical background is in neonates and pediatrics. I have been married for 14 years and have 4 children, including one with her own complex medical needs. My family and I attend COR and are active in the community. I am a busy working mom looking to connect with 1-2 local families to provide intermittent nursing support on a private pay model. I am available some evenings and some weekends. I will support best a flexible partnership to provide relief and respite to families. I live in Overland Park and prefer families nearby.

I have been a nurse for 12 years. Clinical experience in neonatal ICU and outpatient pediatrics. I am BSN trained, a registered and licensed nurse in KS and MO, and have a specialty certification in pediatric nursing. I have a master's degree in nursing leadership.

Hello,
I may be interesting in helping out depending on the circumstances. I work full time in a school district as an early childhood SLP so can commit to only occasional evenings or weekends. I live in southern JOCO so that would be easiest for me.

Hello. My name is Bobbi McDougle and I have a sister with special needs. I am 51 and she is 47, so we have been helping each other learn for many years. I also work in the field of special education. Currently, I am in a District Special Education Coordinator in the Raytown School District. I have been in my current position for 4 years, and worked in this district for 12+ years. Previously, I was the Director of an early childhood center for students who are medically fragile. Our motto there was if a parent can do it, we can learn to do it in their absences. With training from RN's and the parents, I learned to provide and monitor tube feeding, both bolus and via pump. I was also trained on what to do if a mickey buttom came out. We did have one student with a trach, so I also learned how to suction and care for the trach. Early on in my career I also became interested in ASL, American Sign Language. I am conversationally fluent - as long as it it a short conversation. I heard about this opportunity by reading Pastor Adam's weekly E-note. I am also an active volunteer with Angel Care at the downtown location. Mostly - I am so excited that COR is connecting people to the people they need for support.

Note: I am located and only available to provide care in North Kansas City
