Would you like to work for a kind, caring, fun, busy, independent and a little bit crazy woman? She is in her 50s, but she looks and acts at about 30. She is unlike most people with her disabilities. 

• She has Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, which is the most disabling out of the three kinds of CP. As a result of her CP, her physical movements and speech are severely impaired. She came down with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 8, which left her with serious hip and back damage. Nine years later, at 16, her wheelchair slid off a cliff, causing spinal cord trauma, more brain injury and leaving her legally blind.
• She attended the University of Notre Dame where she was the first student with multiple disabilities in the history of the university. She graduated cum laude in math in four years. In the summer of 1995, she joined the Computer Science and Engineering graduate program at Notre Dame and again became the first disabled student in the program. In May of 2000, she graduated magna cum laude with a Masters Degree in Computer Science and Engineering.  
  She went to work for Network Design Tools Inc. in Eatontown, New Jersey as a Telecommunications Network software tester. That job ended in December 2001, as a result of 9/11.
• In 2009, she started her own organization, The Climb Organization Inc. Their mission is:  To motivate people to pursue their dreams and to educate the world on disabled life issues…
• Various times, she has traveled to Washington DC to speak with college students about life as a disabled American Citizen. She has lectured at Georgetown University, the University of Notre Dame, Carnegie Mellon University, Vanderbilt University the School of Medicine and Vanderbilt University (the undergraduates).
• She has led a successful personal life, too. Three men have proposed to her but, she turned them down for reasons unrelated to her disabilities. For the meantime, having the freedom and the time to be a national guest lecturer, motivational speaker and advocate in the disability rights movement is more important to her. Indeed, she seems determined to redefine the word disability.

She is looking for someone who is willing to come in for 2 or 3 hours, 7 days per week and get her out of bed and get her ready for the day. She is about 98 lbs. and 5ft and 1in. She would need your help with all of her transfers. She can hold her weight on her legs. She would need your help with meal preparation, eating, drinking, dressing, fixing her hair, at times putting on make-up, light housecleaning, driving her to places, and at times travelling with her. She would need her help to exercise. $20 up to $25 per hour.
