I am a live in companion to a mentally challenged adult. I refer to him online as Sumtingwong. He is on the level of about a 7 to 9 year old. He has serious behaviour issues and requires constant supervision. So I have his 18 hours M-F and 24 hours S-S. I love him dearly and he has became my extended family. We have been together for almost 3 years now. His team of extended services providers believe that since I have been working with him he is at the most stable position of his life. If I had to describe my job actually it is very similiar to being a stay at home mom, except I do paperwork, have meetings and answer to an entire team of supports.
