The children that were placed in my care were faced issues with:

• Closely monitored children’s play activities to verify safety.
• Handling medication and bowel movements inc. Tracheotomy and gastrostomy care.
• I assisted and helped them to maintain a sense of dignity and self-worth.

I woud say this was one of my hardest yet the most rewarding experiences I have had so far.  As I played a part in and witnessed childrens progress, their ups and downs and the joy they had for the simple things.  It was a remarkable experience.
