Need Kind Person to Once-In-A-GREAT-While, Watch My Adult Handicapped Daughter.

Hi, I'm an OT that works for MPS and a parent/friend of one of my students always forwards me great resources. I had a very long list attached to the information below, but I thought you could start here with a contact person. If you'd like the whole list emailed, let me know: ____@____.com and I'll send it.

The attached guide lists sites in the Metro Milwaukee area, and
neighboring counties. There is also a statewide respite organization:
Respite Care Association of Wisconsin (RCAW). Contact info for RCAW is
www.respitecarewi.org, or 877-260-9207. (This contact info is also
listed in the attached guide.)

I hope this information is helpful!
Thanks,
Emily

C.,

First of all, I'm sorry. It seems like a bit of a difficult life. Secondly, I have two ideas. If you belong to a church (or even if you don't) try putting up an ad in a church in your neighborhood. Generally, you'll get responses from responsible kind people that way and they'll be close to you already too. St. Sebastians and Mt. Olive are two that are close to that area. They are both on Washington Blvd. and Hawley/55th.
Also, I think maybe my stepdaughter would be willing to help. She's done tons of babysitting and is a very responsible woman. she's 22 and works full-time, but is always looking for different things to do and ways to supplement her income. Let me know if you would like me to ask her. (we live in the area, although she lives downtown.)
best of luck to you and take care of yourself.

Hi C.. There is good help out there for you. I am a registered nurse and graduate student at Marquette University. I know a lot of people who are looking for the type of help you are seeking often post flyers at the nursing schools in the area. The nursing students are always looking for side jobs caring for people whether it's medical type of care or just being someone's companion. I know school just let out, but there are still a lot of students who take summer classes. My suggestion would be to call some of the nursing schools to see if there is any type of procedure you have to go through to hang a flyer on campus. Here is a brief list of some of the nursing schools in the area. Marquette, UWM, Alverno, MSOE, Cardinal Stritch, Concordia, MATC. Good luck!
