The answer

It is permissible to work in the care and service of a disabled person, even if it occasionally requires looking at or touching their awrah (private parts). This situation is analogous to the ruling concerning a doctor, who is permitted to look at and touch to the extent of need. However, it is obligatory to exercise caution and limit it to the area of need, and to use gloves when it is necessary to touch the awrah.
