About Our Family
We are looking for a kind, reliable, and committed home health nurse to join our care team for our 4-year-old daughter. She is a bright light in our lives — funny, loving, and determined to make progress every single day. She has a rare mitochondrial disease and requires a medical ketogenic diet, so her care combines both medical support and developmental therapies.
Our daughter is affectionate, she loves swimming, working hard in therapy, watching Ms. Rachel, reading books, being outside, and showing off her sparkly high-top shoes. What she needs most is a nurse who can not only meet her health needs but also engage with her joyfully and encourage her as she grows.
What We’re Looking For
We hope to find a nurse who has strong attention to detail and who is compassionate, dependable, and excited to help a determined little girl make progress. Stability matters deeply to us. She has had too much turnover in her nursing team, and we are seeking someone who can commit to at least one year to provide the consistency she deserves.
