Hello! My name is Andrea, and I am a single parent to a disabled child with special needs. He faced many challenges early in life, going to foster care at age 6. We met several years ago when I was assigned as his nurse at his second foster home and ended up adopting him during the pandemic. Since then, we have had quite the journey together. Being a 50ish year-old mom of 3 boys, a registered nurse, and currently trying to complete my bachelor’s degree has taken its toll on me mentally and physically. Since our journey, I have become a strong advocate for fighting caregiver burnout through awareness and creativity in any form that helps. This blog is for all the caregivers living with and trying to recover from burnout. I may feel alone, but I know I am not alone, and neither are you. 🤎
