Chesterfield Services Inc

Hi I'm Ateka, I've been a caregiver for 10yrs. Working as a caregiver is very fulfilling as I enjoy seeing my clients happy and healthy. I believe that you should always take care of those who can't help themselves. In my country of Ethiopia I took care of senior citizens. We believe that the elderly should never suffer nor go into Nursing Homes to be alone. My hope is one day all people who need assistance will be able to get the quality care they need and deserve.

I am a compassionate, caring and attentive caregiver. I enjoy working with the elderly and being an advocate for them. I have a love for our elderly generation. I went to college to take care of all kinds of patients and discovered my passion is working with the elderly. I find spending time with the elderly a privilege because of the wisdom one can learn from them. I once attempted to learn to knit (from a client) and failed miserably but enjoyed the time learning. I am most proud of the ability I have to love our older generation.

I'm a compassionate, experienced, patient, understanding, reliable and trustworthy caregiver with an excellent listening and documentation skills. I have a calm demeanor and able to give clients not just the care and love they deserve but the companionship that's needed in diverse settings. Skilled at organizing client dally task, run errands and appointments. I'm highly energetic and enjoy working and taking care of the elderly and disabled individuals. Before my Mom passed away I was the sole care provider for her. After her death, I decided to get my license as a caregiver. My Motto: Provide a safe healthy and clean working environment for all clients. While working as a caregiver I also finished my cosmology license, which I'm very proud of. I have more than 10 years experience in the home care field.

I have worked in the community services for over 10 years , working with seniors and disabled children. The joy it brings helping someone maintain independence is priceless. I have worked with hospice patients and find it humbling to provide dignity to care for the soul.
