• Strong experience with transfers, gait belts, mobility assistance, and fall prevention.
  
  
• Experience safely using Hoyer lifts and other transfer equipment.
  
  
• Experience with bathing, dressing, toileting, personal care, and activities of daily living.
  
  
• Previous experience training, mentoring, supervising, or leading caregivers is strongly preferred.
